CREATIVE COMMONS CORPORATION IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE
|
|
LEGAL SERVICES. DISTRIBUTION OF THIS LICENSE DOES NOT CREATE AN
|
|
ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS
|
|
INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS. CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES
|
|
REGARDING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR
|

DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ITS USE.
|
|
|
|
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. THE LICENSOR GRANTS
|
|
YOU THE RIGHTS CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF
|
|
SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
|
|
|
|
1. Definitions
|
|
a. "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 a number of 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.
|
|
b. "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.
|
|
c. "Licensor" means the individual or entity that offers the Work
|
|
under the terms of this License.
|
|
d. "Original Author" means the individual or entity who created the
|
|
Work.
|
|
e. "Work" means the copyrightable work of authorship offered under
|
|
the terms of this License.
|
|
f. "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:
|
|
a. 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;
|
|
b. to create and reproduce Derivative Works;
|
|
c. 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;
|
|
d. to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform
|
|
publicly, and perform publicly by means of a digital audio
|
|
transmission Derivative Works.
|
|
e. For the avoidance of doubt, where the work is a musical
|
|
composition:
|
|
i. Performance Royalties Under Blanket Licenses. Licensor waives
|
|
the exclusive right to collect, whether individually or via a
|
|
performance rights society (e.g. ASCAP, BMI, SESAC),
|
|
royalties for the public performance or public digital
|
|
performance (e.g. webcast) of the Work.
|
|
ii. 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).
|
|
f. 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. 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:
|
|
a. 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 alter or restrict the terms of this License or
|
|
the recipients' exercise of the rights granted hereunder. You may
|
|
not sublicense the Work. You must keep intact all notices that
|
|
refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties. You may
|
|
not distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly
|
|
digitally perform the Work with any technological measures that
|
|
control access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with
|
|
the terms of this License Agreement. The above 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 reference to such Licensor or
|
|
the Original Author, as requested. If You create a Derivative
|
|
Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent
|
|
practicable, remove from the Derivative Work any reference to such
|
|
Licensor or the Original Author, as requested.
|
|
b. If you distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly
|
|
digitally perform the Work or any Derivative Works or Collective
|
|
Works, You must keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and
|
|
give the Original Author credit reasonable to the medium or means
|
|
You are utilizing by conveying the name (or pseudonym if
|
|
applicable) of the Original Author if supplied; 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; and in the
|
|
case of a Derivative Work, a credit identifying the use of the
|
|
Work in the Derivative Work (e.g., "French translation of the Work
|
|
by Original Author," or "Screenplay based on original Work by
|
|
Original Author"). Such credit may be implemented in any
|
|
reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the case of a
|
|
Derivative Work or Collective Work, at a minimum such credit will
|
|
appear where any other comparable authorship credit appears and in
|
|
a manner at least as prominent as such other comparable authorship
|
|
credit.
|
|
|
|
5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
|
|
|
|
UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING,
|
|
LICENSOR OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
|
|
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED,
|
|
STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF
|
|
TITLE, 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
|
|
a. 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 Derivative Works or
|
|
Collective Works 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.
|
|
b. 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
|
|
a. Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform the Work or
|
|
a Collective Work, 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.
|
|
b. Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform a
|
|
Derivative Work, Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the
|
|
original Work on the same terms and conditions as the license
|
|
granted to You under this License.
|
|
c. If any provision of this License is invalid or 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.
|
|
d. 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.
|
|
e. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
|
|
with respect to the Work licensed here. There are no
|
|
understandings, agreements or representations with respect to the
|
|
Work not specified here. Licensor shall not be bound by any
|
|
additional provisions that may appear in any communication from
|
|
You. This License may not be modified without the mutual written
|
|
agreement of the Licensor and You.

license. Notwithstanding the foregoing two (2) sentences, if Creative
|
|
Commons has expressly identified itself as the Licensor hereunder, it
|
|
shall have all rights and obligations of Licensor.
