Distribution of Creative Commons public licenses does not create a lawyer-client or other relationship. 43 | Creative Commons makes its licenses and related information available on an “as-is” basis. Creative Commons 44 | gives no warranties regarding its licenses, any material licensed under their terms and conditions, or any 45 | related information. Creative Commons disclaims all liability for damages resulting from their use to the 46 | fullest extent possible. 47 | 48 | ### Using Creative Commons Public Licenses 49 | 50 | Creative Commons public licenses provide a standard set of terms and conditions that creators and other rights 51 | holders may use to share original works of authorship and other material subject to copyright and certain other 52 | rights specified in the public license below. The following considerations are for informational purposes only, 53 | are not exhaustive, and do not form part of our licenses. 54 | 55 | * __Considerations for licensors:__ Our public licenses are intended for use by those authorized to give the 56 | public permission to use material in ways otherwise restricted by copyright and certain other rights. Our 57 | licenses are irrevocable. Licensors should read and understand the terms and conditions of the license they 58 | choose before applying it. Licensors should also secure all rights necessary before applying our licenses so 59 | that the public can reuse the material as expected. Licensors should clearly mark any material not subject to 60 | the license. This includes other CC-licensed material, or material used under an exception or limitation to 61 | copyright. [More considerations for 62 | licensors](http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Considerations_for_licensors_and_licensees#Considerations_for_licensors). 63 | 64 | * __Considerations for the public:__ By using one of our public licenses, a licensor grants the public 65 | permission to use the licensed material under specified terms and conditions. If the licensor’s permission is 66 | not necessary for any reason–for example, because of any applicable exception or limitation to copyright–then 67 | that use is not regulated by the license. Our licenses grant only permissions under copyright and certain other 68 | rights that a licensor has authority to grant. Use of the licensed material may still be restricted for other 69 | reasons, including because others have copyright or other rights in the material. A licensor may make special 70 | requests, such as asking that all changes be marked or described. Although not required by our licenses, you are 71 | encouraged to respect those requests where reasonable. [More considerations for the 72 | public](http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Considerations_for_licensors_and_licensees#Considerations_for_licensees). 73 | 74 | ## Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License 75 | 76 | By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions 77 | of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License ("Public License"). To the extent this 78 | Public License may be interpreted as a contract, You are granted the Licensed Rights in consideration of Your 79 | acceptance of these terms and conditions, and the Licensor grants You such rights in consideration of benefits 80 | the Licensor receives from making the Licensed Material available under these terms and conditions. 81 | 82 | **Section 1 – Definitions.** 83 | 84 | 1. **Adapted Material** means material subject to Copyright and Similar Rights that is derived from or based 85 | upon the Licensed Material and in which the Licensed Material is translated, altered, arranged, transformed, or 86 | otherwise modified in a manner requiring permission under the Copyright and Similar Rights held by the Licensor. 87 | For purposes of this Public License, where the Licensed Material is a musical work, performance, or sound 88 | recording, Adapted Material is always produced where the Licensed Material is synched in timed relation with a 89 | moving image. 90 | 2. **Adapter's License** means the license You apply to Your Copyright and Similar Rights in Your contributions 91 | to Adapted Material in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Public License. 92 | 3. **Copyright and Similar Rights** means copyright and/or similar rights closely related to copyright 93 | including, without limitation, performance, broadcast, sound recording, and Sui Generis Database Rights, without 94 | regard to how the rights are labeled or categorized. For purposes of this Public License, the rights specified 95 | in Section 2(b)(1)-(2) are not Copyright and Similar Rights. 96 | 4. **Effective Technological Measures** means those measures that, in the absence of proper authority, may not 97 | be circumvented under laws fulfilling obligations under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright Treaty adopted on 98 | December 20, 1996, and/or similar international agreements. 99 | 5. **Exceptions and Limitations** means fair use, fair dealing, and/or any other exception or limitation to 100 | Copyright and Similar Rights that applies to Your use of the Licensed Material. 101 | 6. **Licensed Material** means the artistic or literary work, database, or other material to which the Licensor 102 | applied this Public License. 103 | 7. **Licensed Rights** means the rights granted to You subject to the terms and conditions of this Public 104 | License, which are limited to all Copyright and Similar Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed Material 105 | and that the Licensor has authority to license. 106 | 8. **Licensor** means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights under this Public License. 107 | 9. **Share** means to provide material to the public by any means or process that requires permission under the 108 | Licensed Rights, such as reproduction, public display, public performance, distribution, dissemination, 109 | communication, or importation, and to make material available to the public including in ways that members of 110 | the public may access the material from a place and at a time individually chosen by them. 111 | 10. **Sui Generis Database Rights** means rights other than copyright resulting from Directive 96/9/EC of the 112 | European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases, as amended and/or 113 | succeeded, as well as other essentially equivalent rights anywhere in the world. 114 | 11. **You** means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights under this Public License. **Your** 115 | has a corresponding meaning. 116 | 117 | **Section 2 – Scope.** 118 | 119 | 1. **License grant**. 120 | 1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License, the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, 121 | royalty-free, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to exercise the Licensed Rights in the 122 | Licensed Material to: 123 | 1. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part; and 124 | 2. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material. 125 | 2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where Exceptions and 126 | Limitations apply to Your use, this Public License does not apply, and You do not need 127 | to comply with its terms and conditions. 128 | 3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section 6(a). 129 | 4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The Licensor authorizes 130 | You to exercise the Licensed Rights in all media and formats whether now known 131 | or hereafter created, and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. 132 | The Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or authority to forbid 133 | You from making technical modifications necessary to exercise the Licensed 134 | Rights, including technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective 135 | Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License, simply making 136 | modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)(4) never produces Adapted 137 | Material. 138 | 5. Downstream recipients. 139 | 140 | 1. Offer from the Licensor – Licensed Material. Every recipient of 141 | the Licensed Material automatically receives an offer from the 142 | Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights under the terms and 143 | conditions of this Public License. 144 | 2. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose 145 | any additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply 146 | any Effective Technological Measures to, the Licensed 147 | Material if doing so restricts exercise of the Licensed 148 | Rights by any recipient of the Licensed Material. 149 | 150 | 6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License 151 | constitutes or may be construed as permission to assert 152 | or imply that You are, or that Your use of the Licensed 153 | Material is, connected with, or sponsored, endorsed, or 154 | granted official status by, the Licensor or others 155 | designated to receive attribution as provided in Section 156 | 3(a)(1)(A)(i). 157 | 2. **Other rights**. 158 | 159 | 1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are 160 | not licensed under this Public License, nor are 161 | publicity, privacy, and/or other similar personality 162 | rights; however, to the extent possible, the 163 | Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any such 164 | rights held by the Licensor to the limited extent 165 | necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed 166 | Rights, but not otherwise. 167 | 2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed 168 | under this Public License. 169 | 3. To the extent possible, the Licensor 170 | waives any right to collect royalties from 171 | You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, 172 | whether directly or through a collecting 173 | society under any voluntary or waivable 174 | statutory or compulsory licensing scheme. In 175 | all other cases the Licensor expressly 176 | reserves any right to collect such 177 | royalties. 178 | 179 | **Section 3 – License Conditions.** 180 | 181 | Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is 182 | expressly made subject to the following 183 | conditions. 184 | 185 | 1. **Attribution**. 186 | 187 | 1. If You Share the Licensed Material 188 | (including in modified form), You must: 189 | 190 | 1. retain the following if it is 191 | supplied by the Licensor with 192 | the Licensed Material: 193 | 1. identification of 194 | the creator(s) of 195 | the Licensed 196 | Material and any 197 | others designated to 198 | receive attribution, 199 | in any reasonable 200 | manner requested by 201 | the Licensor 202 | (including by 203 | pseudonym if 204 | designated); 205 | 2. a 206 | copyright notice; 207 | 3. a notice that refers to this Public License; 208 | 4. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of warranties; 209 | 5. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the extent reasonably practicable; 210 | 2. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and retain an indication of any previous modifications; and 211 | 3. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, this Public License. 212 | 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. 213 | 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. 214 | 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. 215 | 216 | **Section 4 – Sui Generis Database Rights.** 217 | 218 | Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed Material: 219 | 220 | 1. 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; 221 | 2. 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 222 | 3. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database. 223 | 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. 224 | 225 | **Section 5 – Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.** 226 | 227 | 1. **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.** 228 | 2. **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.** 229 | 3. 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. 230 | 231 | **Section 6 – Term and Termination.** 232 | 233 | 1. 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. 234 | 2. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section 6(a), it reinstates: 235 | 236 | 1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or 237 | 2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor. 238 | 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. 239 | 3. 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. 240 | 4. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License. 241 | 242 | **Section 7 – Other Terms and Conditions.** 243 | 244 | 1. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed. 245 | 2. 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. 246 | 247 | **Section 8 – Interpretation.** 248 | 249 | 1. 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. 250 | 2. 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. 251 | 3. 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. 252 | 4. 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. 253 | 254 | --- 255 | 256 | *Creative Commons is not a party to its public licenses.
