CC0 1.0 Universal

3
Statement of Purpose
4
 
5
The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
6
exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator and
7
subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
8
authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
9
 
10
Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for the
11
purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and scientific
12
works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear of later
13
claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other works, reuse
14
and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever and for any
15
purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes. These owners may
16
contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free culture and the
17
further production of creative, cultural and scientific works, or to gain
18
reputation or greater distribution for their Work in part through the use and
19
efforts of others.
20
 
21
For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any expectation
22
of additional consideration or compensation, the person associating CC0 with a
23
Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she is an owner of Copyright
24
and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily elects to apply CC0 to the Work
25
and publicly distribute the Work under its terms, with knowledge of his or her
26
Copyright and Related Rights in the Work and the meaning and intended legal
27
effect of CC0 on those rights.
28
 
29
1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
30
protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
31
Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not limited
32
to, the following:
33
 
34
  i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, communicate,
35
  and translate a Work;
36
 
37
  ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
38
 
39
  iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or likeness
40
  depicted in a Work;
41
 
42
  iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
43
  subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
44
 
45
  v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data in
46
  a Work;
47
 
48
  vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the
49
  European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
50
  protection of databases, and under any national implementation thereof,
51
  including any amended or successor version of such directive); and
52
 
53
  vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the world
54
  based on applicable law or treaty, and any national implementations thereof.
55
 
56
2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention of,
57
applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently, irrevocably and
58
unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of Affirmer's Copyright
59
and Related Rights and associated claims and causes of action, whether now
60
known or unknown (including existing as well as future claims and causes of
61
action), in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum
62
duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time
63
extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of
64
copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation
65
commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes
66
the Waiver for the benefit of each member of the public at large and to the
67
detriment of Affirmer's heirs and successors, fully intending that such Waiver
68
shall not be subject to revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or
69
any other legal or equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work
70
by the public as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
71
 
72
3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason be
73
judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the Waiver
74
shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into account
75
Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the extent the Waiver
76
is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected person a royalty-free,
77
non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, irrevocable and
78
unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights in
79
the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration
80
provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii)
81
in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any
82
purpose whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or
83
promotional purposes (the "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as
84
of the date CC0 was applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the
85
License for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under
86
applicable law, such partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not
87
invalidate the remainder of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby
88
affirms that he or she will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining
89
Copyright and Related Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims
90
and causes of action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to
91
Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
92
 
93
4. Limitations and Disclaimers.
94
 
95
  a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
96
  surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
97
 
98
  b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or warranties
99
  of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied, statutory or otherwise,
100
  including without limitation warranties of title, merchantability, fitness
101
  for a particular purpose, non infringement, or the absence of latent or
102
  other defects, accuracy, or the present or absence of errors, whether or not
103
  discoverable, all to the greatest extent permissible under applicable law.
104
 
105
  c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons
106
  that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without limitation
107
  any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work. Further, Affirmer
108
  disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary consents, permissions
109
  or other rights required for any use of the Work.
110
 
111
  d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a
112
  party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to this
113
  CC0 or use of the Work.
