| 20 | +.. topic:: Using Creative Commons Public Licenses |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + Creative Commons public licenses provide a standard set of terms and conditions |
| 23 | + that creators and other rights holders may use to share original works of |
| 24 | + authorship and other material subject to copyright and certain other rights |
| 25 | + specified in the public license below. The following considerations are for |
| 26 | + informational purposes only, are not exhaustive, and do not form part of our |
| 27 | + licenses. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + * **Considerations for licensors:** Our public licenses are intended for use |
| 30 | + by those authorized to give the public permission to use material in ways |
| 31 | + otherwise restricted by copyright and certain other rights. Our licenses are |
| 32 | + irrevocable. Licensors should read and understand the terms and conditions |
| 33 | + of the license they choose before applying it. Licensors should also secure |
| 34 | + all rights necessary before applying our licenses so that the public can reuse |
| 35 | + the material as expected. Licensors should clearly mark any material not |
| 36 | + subject to the license. This includes other CC-licensed material, or material |
| 37 | + used under an exception or limitation to copyright. |
| 38 | + `More considerations for licensors <http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Considerations_for_licensors_and_licensees#Considerations_for_licensors>`__. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + * **Considerations for the public:** By using one of our public licenses, a |
| 41 | + licensor grants the public permission to use the licensed material under |
| 42 | + specified terms and conditions. If the licensor’s permission is not necessary |
| 43 | + for any reason–for example, because of any applicable exception or limitation |
| 44 | + to copyright–then that use is not regulated by the license. Our licenses grant |
| 45 | + only permissions under copyright and certain other rights that a licensor has |
| 46 | + authority to grant. Use of the licensed material may still be restricted for |
| 47 | + other reasons, including because others have copyright or other rights in the |
| 48 | + material. A licensor may make special requests, such as asking that all |
| 49 | + changes be marked or described. Although not required by our licenses, you are |
| 50 | + encouraged to respect those requests where reasonable. |

| 58 | +License may be interpreted as a contract, You are granted the Licensed Rights |
| 59 | +in consideration of Your acceptance of these terms and conditions, and the |

| 120 | +k. **You** means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights |

| 122 | + |
| 123 | +Section 2 – Scope. |
| 124 | +================== |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +a. **License grant.** |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | + 1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License, the Licensor |
| 129 | + hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-sublicensable, |
| 130 | + non-exclusive, irrevocable license to exercise the Licensed Rights in the |
| 131 | + Licensed Material to: |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | + A. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part; and |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | + B. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material. |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | + 2. :underline:`Exceptions and Limitations.` For the avoidance of doubt, where |
| 138 | + Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public License does not |
| 139 | + apply, and You do not need to comply with its terms and conditions. |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | + 3. :underline:`Term.` The term of this Public License is specified in Section 6(a). |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | + 4. :underline:`Media and formats`; :underline:`technical modifications allowed.` The Licensor |
| 144 | + authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in all media and formats |
| 145 | + whether now known or hereafter created, and to make technical |
| 146 | + modifications necessary to do so. The Licensor waives and/or agrees not to |
| 147 | + assert any right or authority to forbid You from making technical |
| 148 | + modifications necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including |
| 149 | + technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective Technological |
| 150 | + Measures. For purposes of this Public License, simply making modifications |
| 151 | + authorized by this Section 2(a)(4) never produces Adapted Material. |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | + 5. :underline:`Downstream recipients.` |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | + A. :underline:`Offer from the Licensor – Licensed Material.` Every recipient of |
| 156 | + the Licensed Material automatically receives an offer from the |
| 157 | + Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights under the terms and |
| 158 | + conditions of this Public License. |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | + B. :underline:`No downstream restrictions.` You may not offer or impose any |
| 161 | + additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any Effective |
| 162 | + Technological Measures to, the Licensed Material if doing so restricts |
| 163 | + exercise of the Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed |
| 164 | + Material. |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | + 6. :underline:`No endorsement.` Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may |
| 167 | + be construed as permission to assert or imply that You are, or that Your |
| 168 | + use of the Licensed Material is, connected with, or sponsored, endorsed, |
| 169 | + or granted official status by, the Licensor or others designated to |
| 170 | + receive attribution as provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i). |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +b. **Other rights.** |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | + 1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed under this |
| 175 | + Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other similar |
| 176 | + personality rights; however, to the extent possible, the Licensor waives |
| 177 | + and/or agrees not to assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the |
| 178 | + limited extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights, but |
| 179 | + not otherwise. |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | + 2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License. |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | + 3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect royalties |
| 184 | + from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether directly or |
| 185 | + through a collecting society under any voluntary or waivable statutory or |
| 186 | + compulsory licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly |
| 187 | + reserves any right to collect such royalties. |
| 188 | + |
| 189 | +Section 3 – License Conditions. |
| 190 | +=============================== |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | +Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the following conditions. |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +a. **Attribution.** |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | + 1. If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form), You must: |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | + A. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with the |
| 199 | + Licensed Material: |
| 200 | + |
| 201 | + i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed Material and any |
| 202 | + others designated to receive attribution, in any reasonable manner |
| 203 | + requested by the Licensor (including by pseudonym if designated); |
| 204 | + |
| 205 | + ii. a copyright notice; |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | + iii. a notice that refers to this Public License; |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | + iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of warranties; |
| 210 | + |
| 211 | + v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the extent reasonably |
| 212 | + practicable; |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | + B. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and retain an |
| 215 | + indication of any previous modifications; and |
| 216 | + |
| 217 | + C. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this Public License, |
| 218 | + and include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, this Public |
| 219 | + License. |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | + 2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any reasonable manner |
| 222 | + based on the medium, means, and context in which You Share the Licensed |
| 223 | + Material. For example, it may be reasonable to satisfy the conditions by |
| 224 | + providing a URI or hyperlink to a resource that includes the required |
| 225 | + information. |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | + 3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information |
| 228 | + required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably practicable. |
| 229 | + |
| 230 | + 4. If You Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter's License You apply |
| 231 | + must not prevent recipients of the Adapted Material from complying with |
| 232 | + this Public License. |
| 233 | + |
| 234 | +Section 4 – Sui Generis Database Rights. |
| 235 | +======================================== |
| 236 | + |
| 237 | +Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to Your |
| 238 | +use of the Licensed Material: |
| 239 | + |
| 240 | +a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to extract, |
| 241 | + reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of |
| 242 | + the database; |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in a |
| 245 | + database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database |
| 246 | + in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual |
| 247 | + contents) is Adapted Material; and |
| 248 | + |
| 249 | +c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or a |
| 250 | + substantial portion of the contents of the database. |
| 251 | + |
| 252 | +For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not replace |
| 253 | +Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed Rights include |
| 254 | +other Copyright and Similar Rights. |
| 255 | + |
| 256 | +Section 5 – Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability. |
| 257 | +================================================================= |
| 258 | + |
| 259 | +a. **Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent |
| 260 | + possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available, |
| 261 | + and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the |
| 262 | + Licensed Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or other. This |
| 263 | + includes, without limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, |
| 264 | + fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, absence of latent or |
| 265 | + other defects, accuracy, or the presence or absence of errors, whether or |
| 266 | + not known or discoverable. Where disclaimers of warranties are not allowed |
| 267 | + in full or in part, this disclaimer may not apply to You.** |
| 268 | + |
| 269 | +b. **To the extent possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to You |
| 270 | + on any legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) or |
| 271 | + otherwise for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, |
| 272 | + punitive, exemplary, or other losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising |
| 273 | + out of this Public License or use of the Licensed Material, even if the |
| 274 | + Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, |
| 275 | + or damages. Where a limitation of liability is not allowed in full or in |
| 276 | + part, this limitation may not apply to You.** |
| 277 | + |
| 278 | +c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above |
| 279 | + shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most |
| 280 | + closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability. |
| 281 | + |
| 282 | +Section 6 – Term and Termination. |
| 283 | +================================= |
| 284 | + |
| 285 | +a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights |
| 286 | + licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public License, then |
| 287 | + Your rights under this Public License terminate automatically. |
| 288 | + |
| 289 | +b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under |
| 290 | + Section 6(a), it reinstates: |
| 291 | + |
| 292 | + 1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured |
| 293 | + within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or |
| 294 | + |
| 295 | + 2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor. |
| 296 | + |
| 297 | + For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the |
| 298 | + Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public License. |
| 299 | + |
| 300 | +c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material |
| 301 | + under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material |
| 302 | + at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public License. |
| 303 | + |
| 304 | +d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License. |
| 305 | + |
| 306 | +Section 7 – Other Terms and Conditions. |
| 307 | +======================================= |
| 308 | + |
| 309 | +a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or |
| 310 | + conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed. |
| 311 | + |
| 312 | +b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the Licensed |
| 313 | + Material not stated herein are separate from and independent of the terms |
| 314 | + and conditions of this Public License. |
| 315 | + |
| 316 | +Section 8 – Interpretation. |
| 317 | +=========================== |
| 318 | + |
| 319 | +a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and shall not be |
| 320 | + interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions on any use of |
| 321 | + the Licensed Material that could lawfully be made without permission under |
| 322 | + this Public License. |
| 323 | + |
| 324 | +b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is deemed |
| 325 | + unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum extent |
| 326 | + necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be reformed, it |
| 327 | + shall be severed from this Public License without affecting the |
| 328 | + enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions. |
| 329 | + |
| 330 | +c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no failure to |
| 331 | + comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor. |
| 332 | + |
| 333 | +d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as a |
| 334 | + limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that apply to |
| 335 | + the Licensor or You, including from the legal processes of any jurisdiction |
| 336 | + or authority. |
