CREATIVE COMMONS CORPORATION IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL
|
|
SERVICES. DISTRIBUTION OF THIS LICENSE DOES NOT CREATE AN ATTORNEY-CLIENT
|
|
RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS.
|
|
CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES REGARDING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED,
|

AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ITS USE.

License
|
|
|
|
THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS CREATIVE
|
|
COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT
|
|
AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER THAN AS AUTHORIZED UNDER
|
|
THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS PROHIBITED.
|
|
|
|
BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE
|
|
BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU THE RIGHTS CONTAINED
|
|
HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
|
|
|
|
1. Definitions
|
|
a. "Collective Work" means a work, such as a periodical issue,
|
|
anthology or encyclopedia, in which the Work in its entirety in
|
|
unmodified form, along with a number of other contributions,
|
|
constituting separate and independent works in themselves, are assembled
|
|
into a collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collective Work will
|
|
not be considered a Derivative Work (as defined below) for the purposes
|
|
of this License.
|
|
|
|
b. "Derivative Work" means a work based upon the Work or upon the Work and
|
|
other pre-existing works, such as a translation, musical arrangement,
|
|
dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound
|
|
recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form
|
|
in which the Work may be recast, transformed, or adapted, except that a
|
|
work that constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a
|
|
Derivative Work for the purpose of this License. For the avoidance of
|
|
doubt, where the Work is a musical composition or sound recording, the
|
|
synchronization of the Work in timed-relation with a moving image
|
|
("synching") will be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of
|
|
this License.
|
|
|
|
c. "Licensor" means the individual or entity that offers the Work under the
|
|
terms of this License.
|
|
|
|
d. "Original Author" means the individual or entity who created the Work.
|
|
|
|
e. "Work" means the copyrightable work of authorship offered under the terms
|
|
of this License.
|
|
|
|
f. "You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this License
|
|
who has not previously violated the terms of this License with respect
|
|
to the Work, or who has received express permission from the Licensor to
|
|
exercise rights under this License despite a previous violation.
|
|
|
|
2. Fair Use Rights. Nothing in this license is intended to reduce, limit, or
|
|
restrict any rights arising from fair use, first sale or other limitations
|
|
on the exclusive rights of the copyright owner under copyright law or other
|
|
applicable laws.
|
|
|
|
3. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, Licensor
|
|
hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for
|
|
the duration of the applicable copyright) license to exercise the rights in
|
|
the Work as stated below:
|
|
|
|
a. to reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more
|
|
Collective Works, and to reproduce the Work as incorporated in the
|
|
Collective Works;
|
|
|
|
b. to create and reproduce Derivative Works;
|
|
|
|
c. to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform
|
|
publicly, and perform publicly by means of a digital audio transmission
|
|
the Work including as incorporated in Collective Works;
|
|
|
|
d. to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform
|
|
publicly, and perform publicly by means of a digital audio transmission
|
|
Derivative Works.
|
|
|
|
e. For the avoidance of doubt, where the work is a musical composition:
|
|
|
|
i. Performance Royalties Under Blanket Licenses. Licensor waives the
|
|
exclusive right to collect, whether individually or via a
|
|
performance rights society (e.g. ASCAP, BMI, SESAC), royalties for
|
|
the public performance or public digital performance (e.g. webcast)
|
|
of the Work.
|
|
|
|
ii. Mechanical Rights and Statutory Royalties. Licensor waives the
|
|
exclusive right to collect, whether individually or via a music
|
|
rights agency or designated agent (e.g. Harry Fox Agency), royalties
|
|
for any phonorecord You create from the Work ("cover version") and
|
|
distribute, subject to the compulsory license created by 17 USC
|
|
Section 115 of the US Copyright Act (or the equivalent in other
|
|
jurisdictions).
|
|
|
|
f. Webcasting Rights and Statutory Royalties. For the avoidance of doubt,
|
|
where the Work is a sound recording, Licensor waives the exclusive right
|
|
to collect, whether individually or via a performance-rights society
|
|
(e.g. SoundExchange), royalties for the public digital performance (e.g.
|
|
webcast) of the Work, subject to the compulsory license created by 17
|
|
USC Section 114 of the US Copyright Act (or the equivalent in other
|
|
jurisdictions).
|
|
|
|
The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now known
|
|
or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make such
|
|
modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in other
|
|
media and formats. All rights not expressly granted by Licensor are hereby
|
|
reserved.
|
|
|
|
4. Restrictions.The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made subject
|
|
to and limited by the following restrictions:
|
|
|
|
a. You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly
|
|
digitally perform the Work only under the terms of this License, and You
|
|
must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this
|
|
License with every copy or phonorecord of the Work You distribute,
|
|
publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform. You
|
|
may not offer or impose any terms on the Work that alter or restrict the
|
|
terms of this License or the recipients' exercise of the rights granted
|
|
hereunder. You may not sublicense the Work. You must keep intact all
|
|
notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties.
|
|
You may not distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly
|
|
digitally perform the Work with any technological measures that control
|
|
access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with the terms of
|
|
this License Agreement. The above applies to the Work as incorporated in
|
|
a Collective Work, but this does not require the Collective Work apart
|
|
from the Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this License. If
|
|
You create a Collective Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to
|
|
the extent practicable, remove from the Collective Work any credit as
|
|
required by clause 4(b), as requested. If You create a Derivative Work,
|
|
upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable,
|
|
remove from the Derivative Work any credit as required by clause 4(b),
|
|
as requested.
|
|
|
|
b. If you distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly
|
|
digitally perform the Work or any Derivative Works or Collective Works,
|
|
You must keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and provide,
|
|
reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing:
|
|
|
|
(i) the name of the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if
|
|
supplied, and/or
|
|
|
|
(ii) if the Original Author and/or Licensor designate another party or
|
|
parties (e.g. a sponsor institute, publishing entity, journal) for
|
|
attribution in Licensor's copyright notice, terms of service or by
|
|
other reasonable means, the name of such party or parties; the title
|
|
of the Work if supplied; to the extent reasonably practicable, the
|
|
Uniform Resource Identifier, if any, that Licensor specifies to be
|
|
associated with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the
|
|
copyright notice or licensing information for the Work; and in the
|
|
case of a Derivative Work, a credit identifying the use of the Work
|
|
in the Derivative Work (e.g., "French translation of the Work by
|
|
Original Author," or "Screenplay based on original Work by Original
|
|
Author"). Such credit may be implemented in any reasonable manner;
|
|
provided, however, that in the case of a Derivative Work or
|
|
Collective Work, at a minimum such credit will appear where any
|
|
other comparable authorship credit appears and in a manner at least
|
|
as prominent as such other comparable authorship credit.
|
|
|
|
5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
|
|
UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR
|
|
OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND
|
|
CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING,
|
|
WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A
|
|
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER
|
|
DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
|
|
DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED
|
|
WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
|
|
|
|
6. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN
|
|
NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL,
|
|
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS
|
|
LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
|
|
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
|
|
|
|
7. Termination
|
|
a. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
|
|
automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License.
|
|
Individuals or entities who have received Derivative Works or Collective
|
|
Works from You under this License, however, will not have their licenses
|
|
terminated provided such individuals or entities remain in full
|
|
compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will
|
|
survive any termination of this License.
|
|
|
|
b. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here is
|
|
perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work).
|
|
Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the
|
|
Work under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at
|
|
any time; provided, however that any such election will not serve to
|
|
withdraw this License (or any other license that has been, or is
|
|
required to be, granted under the terms of this License), and this
|
|
License will continue in full force and effect unless terminated as
|
|
stated above.
|
|
|
|
8. Miscellaneous
|
|
a. Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform the Work or a
|
|
Collective Work, the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the
|
|
Work on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to You
|
|
under this License.
|
|
|
|
b. Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform a Derivative Work,
|
|
Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the original Work on the
|
|
same terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this
|
|
License.
|
|
|
|
c. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under
|
|
applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
|
|
the remainder of the terms of this License, and without further action
|
|
by the parties to this agreement, such provision shall be reformed to
|
|
the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and
|
|
enforceable.
|
|
|
|
d. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no breach
|
|
consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and
|
|
signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.
|
|
|
|
e. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with
|
|
respect to the Work licensed here. There are no understandings,
|
|
agreements or representations with respect to the Work not specified
|
|
here. Licensor shall not be bound by any additional provisions that may
|
|
appear in any communication from You. This License may not be modified
|
|
without the mutual written agreement of the Licensor and You.
