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.
TO THE EXTENT THIS LICENSE MAY BE CONSIDERED TO BE A
CONTRACT, THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU THE RIGHTS CONTAINED HERE
IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH TERMS AND
CONDITIONS.
1. Definitions
- "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 one or more 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.
- "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.
- "Licensor" means the individual,
individuals, entity or entities that offers the Work
under the terms of this License.
- "Original Author" means the
individual, individuals, entity or entities who created
the Work.
- "Work" means the copyrightable work
of authorship offered under the terms of this
License.
- "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:
- 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;
- 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.
-
For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a
musical composition:
- Performance Royalties Under Blanket
Licenses. Licensor waives the exclusive
right to collect, whether individually or, in the
event that Licensor is a member of a performance
rights society (e.g. ASCAP, BMI, SESAC), via that
society, royalties for the public performance or
public digital performance (e.g. webcast) of the
Work.
- 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).
- 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, but otherwise you have no rights to make
Derivative Works. 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:
- 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 restrict the terms of this
License or the ability of a recipient of the Work to
exercise of the rights granted to that recipient under
the terms of the License. You may not sublicense the
Work. You must keep intact all notices that refer to this
License and to the disclaimer of warranties. When You
distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
publicly digitally perform the Work, You may not impose
any technological measures on the Work that restrict the
ability of a recipient of the Work from You to exercise
of the rights granted to that recipient under the terms
of the License. This Section 4(a) 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 Section 4(b),
as requested.
- If You distribute, publicly display, publicly
perform, or publicly digitally perform the Work (as
defined in Section 1 above) or any Collective Works (as
defined in Section 1 above), You must, unless a request
has been made pursuant to Section 4(a), 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 ("Attribution Parties") 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. The credit required
by this Section 4(b) may be implemented in any reasonable
manner; provided, however, that in the case of a
Collective Work, at a minimum such credit will appear, if
a credit for all contributing authors of the Collective
Work appears, then as part of these credits and in a
manner at least as prominent as the credits for the other
contributing authors. For the avoidance of doubt, You may
only use the credit required by this Section for the
purpose of attribution in the manner set out above and,
by exercising Your rights under this License, You may not
implicitly or explicitly assert or imply any connection
with, sponsorship or endorsement by the Original Author,
Licensor and/or Attribution Parties, as appropriate, of
You or Your use of the Work, without the separate,
express prior written permission of the Original Author,
Licensor and/or Attribution Parties.
5. Representations, Warranties and
Disclaimer
UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN
WRITING, LICENSOR OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND ONLY TO THE
EXTENT OF ANY RIGHTS HELD IN THE LICENSED WORK BY THE
LICENSOR. THE LICENSOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS,
IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MARKETABILITY,
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
- 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 Collective Works (as defined in Section 1 above)
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.
- 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
- Each time You distribute or publicly digitally
perform the Work (as defined in Section 1 above) or a
Collective Work (as defined in Section 1 above), 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.

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.
- 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.
- This License constitutes the entire agreement between
the parties with respect to the Work licensed here. There
are no understandings, agreements or representations with
