Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be 41 | protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and 42 | Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not 43 | limited to, the following: 44 | 45 | i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, 46 | communicate, and translate a Work; 47 | ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s); 48 | iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or 49 | likeness depicted in a Work; 50 | iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work, 51 | subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below; 52 | v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data 53 | in a Work; 54 | vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the 55 | European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal 56 | protection of databases, and under any national implementation 57 | thereof, including any amended or successor version of such 58 | directive); and 59 | vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the 60 | world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national 61 | implementations thereof. 62 | 63 | 2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention 64 | of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently, 65 | irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of 66 | Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes 67 | of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as 68 | future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories 69 | worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or 70 | treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future 71 | medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, 72 | including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional 73 | purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each 74 | member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and 75 | successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to 76 | revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or 77 | equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public 78 | as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. 79 | 80 | 3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason 81 | be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the 82 | Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into 83 | account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the 84 | extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected 85 | person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, 86 | irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and 87 | Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the 88 | maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future 89 | time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number 90 | of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without 91 | limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the 92 | "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was 93 | applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any 94 | reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such 95 | partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder 96 | of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she 97 | will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related 98 | Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of 99 | action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's 100 | express Statement of Purpose. 101 | 102 | 4.
