Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License

By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be

bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0

International Public License ("Public License"). To the extent this Public

License may be interpreted as a contract, You are granted the Licensed Rights

in consideration of Your acceptance of these terms and conditions, and the

Licensor grants You such rights in consideration of benefits the Licensor

receives from making the Licensed Material available under these terms and

conditions.

Section 1 – Definitions.

a. *Adapted Material* means material subject to Copyright and Similar Rights

that is derived from or based upon the Licensed Material and in which the

Licensed Material is translated, altered, arranged, transformed, or otherwise

modified in a manner requiring permission under the Copyright and Similar

Rights held by the Licensor. For purposes of this Public License, where the

Licensed Material is a musical work, performance, or sound recording, Adapted

Material is always produced where the Licensed Material is synched in timed

relation with a moving image.

b. *Adapter's License* means the license You apply to Your Copyright and

Similar Rights in Your contributions to Adapted Material in accordance with the

terms and conditions of this Public License.

c. *Copyright and Similar Rights* means copyright and/or similar rights closely

related to copyright including, without limitation, performance, broadcast,

sound recording, and Sui Generis Database Rights, without regard to how the

rights are labeled or categorized. For purposes of this Public License, the

rights specified in Section 2(b)(1)-(2) are not Copyright and Similar Rights.

d. *Effective Technological Measures* means those measures that, in the absence

of proper authority, may not be circumvented under laws fulfilling obligations

under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright Treaty adopted on December 20, 1996,

and/or similar international agreements.

e. *Exceptions and Limitations* means fair use, fair dealing, and/or any other

exception or limitation to Copyright and Similar Rights that applies to Your

use of the Licensed Material.

f. *Licensed Material* means the artistic or literary work, database, or other

material to which the Licensor applied this Public License.

g. *Licensed Rights* means the rights granted to You subject to the terms and

conditions of this Public License, which are limited to all Copyright and

Similar Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed Material and that the

Licensor has authority to license.

h. *Licensor* means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights under this

Public License.

i. *Share* means to provide material to the public by any means or process that

requires permission under the Licensed Rights, such as reproduction, public

display, public performance, distribution, dissemination, communication, or

importation, and to make material available to the public including in ways

that members of the public may access the material from a place and at a time

individually chosen by them.

j. *Sui Generis Database Rights* means rights other than copyright resulting

from Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11

March 1996 on the legal protection of databases, as amended and/or succeeded,

as well as other essentially equivalent rights anywhere in the world.

k. *You* means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights under

this Public License. *Your* has a corresponding meaning.

Section 2 – Scope.

a. *License grant.* 1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public

License, the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,

non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to exercise the Licensed

Rights in the Licensed Material to:

A. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part; and

B. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.

2. *Exceptions and Limitations*. For the avoidance of doubt, where

Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public License does not

apply, and You do not need to comply with its terms and conditions.

3. *Term*. The term of this Public License is specified in Section 6(a).

4. *Media and formats; technical modifications allowed*. The Licensor

authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in all media and formats

whether now known or hereafter created, and to make technical modifications

necessary to do so. The Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any

right or authority to forbid You from making technical modifications

necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including technical

modifications necessary to circumvent Effective Technological Measures. For

purposes of this Public License, simply making modifications authorized by

this Section 2(a)(4) never produces Adapted Material.

5. *Downstream recipients*.

A. *Offer from the Licensor – Licensed Material*. Every recipient of

the Licensed Material automatically receives an offer from the Licensor

to exercise the Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this

Public License.

B. *No downstream restrictions*. You may not offer or impose any

additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any Effective

Technological Measures to, the Licensed Material if doing so restricts

exercise of the Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed

Material.

6. *No endorsement*. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be

construed as permission to assert or imply that You are, or that Your use

of the Licensed Material is, connected with, or sponsored, endorsed, or

granted official status by, the Licensor or others designated to receive

attribution as provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).

b. *Other rights.*

1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed under

this Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other similar

personality rights; however, to the extent possible, the Licensor waives

and/or agrees not to assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the

limited extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights, but

not otherwise.

2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License.

3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect

royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether

directly or through a collecting society under any voluntary or waivable

statutory or compulsory licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor

expressly reserves any right to collect such royalties.

Section 3 – License Conditions.

Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the following conditions.

a. *Attribution*.

1. If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form), You must:

A. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with the Licensed Material:

i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed Material and

any others designated to receive attribution, in any reasonable

manner requested by the Licensor (including by pseudonym if

designated);

ii. a copyright notice;

iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;

iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of warranties;

v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the extent

reasonably practicable;

B. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and retain an

indication of any previous modifications; and

C. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this Public

License, and include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, this

Public License.

2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any reasonable

manner based on the medium, means, and context in which You Share the

Licensed Material. For example, it may be reasonable to satisfy the

conditions by providing a URI or hyperlink to a resource that includes the

required information.

3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information

required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably practicable.

4. If You Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter's License You

apply must not prevent recipients of the Adapted Material from complying

with this Public License.

Section 4 – Sui Generis Database Rights.

Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to

Your use of the Licensed Material:

a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to

extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the

contents of the database;

b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in

a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database

in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual

contents) is Adapted Material; and

c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or

a substantial portion of the contents of the database.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not replace

Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed Rights include

other Copyright and Similar Rights.

Section 5 – Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.

*a. Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent

possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available,

and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the

Licensed Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or other. This

includes, without limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, fitness

for a particular purpose, non-infringement, absence of latent or other

defects, accuracy, or the presence or absence of errors, whether or not

known or discoverable. Where disclaimers of warranties are not allowed in

full or in part, this disclaimer may not apply to You.

b. To the extent possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to You

on any legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) or

otherwise for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential,

punitive, exemplary, or other losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising

out of this Public License or use of the Licensed Material, even if the

Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such losses, costs,

expenses, or damages. Where a limitation of liability is not allowed in

full or in part, this limitation may not apply to You.*

c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above

shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely

approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.

Section 6 – Term and Termination.

a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar

Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public

License, then Your rights under this Public License terminate

automatically.

b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under

Section 6(a), it reinstates:

1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is

cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or

2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right

the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this

Public License.

c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed

Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the

Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this

Public License.

d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License.

Section 7 – Other Terms and Conditions.

a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or

conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.

b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the Licensed

Material not stated herein are separate from and independent of the terms

and conditions of this Public License.

Section 8 – Interpretation.

a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and shall not

be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions on any use

of the Licensed Material that could lawfully be made without permission

under this Public License.

b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is

deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum

extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be

reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License without affecting

the enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions.

c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no

failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor.

d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as a

limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that apply to

the Licensor or You, including from the legal processes of any jurisdiction

or authority.
