|

|

Statement of Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
|
||||
exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator and
|
||||
subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
|
||||
exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator
|
||||
and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
|
||||
authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
|
||||
|
||||
Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for the
|
||||
purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and scientific
|
||||
works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear of later
|
||||
claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other works, reuse
|
||||
and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever and for any
|
||||
purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes. These owners may
|
||||
contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free culture and the
|
||||
further production of creative, cultural and scientific works, or to gain
|
||||
reputation or greater distribution for their Work in part through the use and
|
||||
efforts of others.

|
||||
|
||||
For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any expectation
|
||||
of additional consideration or compensation, the person associating CC0 with a
|
||||
Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she is an owner of Copyright
|
||||
and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily elects to apply CC0 to the Work
|
||||
and publicly distribute the Work under its terms, with knowledge of his or her
|
||||
Copyright and Related Rights in the Work and the meaning and intended legal
|
||||
effect of CC0 on those rights.

Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
|
||||
protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
|
||||
Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not limited

|
||||
European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
|
||||
protection of databases, and under any national implementation
|
||||
thereof, including any amended or successor version of such
|
||||
directive); and

|
||||
2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention
|
||||
of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently,
|
||||
irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of
|
||||
Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes
|
||||
of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as
|
||||
future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories
|
||||
worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or
|
||||
treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future
|
||||
medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever,
|
||||
including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional
|
||||
purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each
|
||||
member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and
|
||||
successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to
|
||||
revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or
|
||||
equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public
|
||||
as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
|
||||
|
||||
iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or likeness
|
||||
depicted in a Work;
|
||||
|
||||
iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
|
||||
subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
|
||||
|
||||
v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data in
|
||||
a Work;
|
||||
|
||||
vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the
|
||||
European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
|
||||
protection of databases, and under any national implementation thereof,
|
||||
including any amended or successor version of such directive); and
|
||||
|
||||
vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the world
|
||||
based on applicable law or treaty, and any national implementations thereof.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention of,
|
||||
applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently, irrevocably and
|
||||
unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of Affirmer's Copyright
|
||||
and Related Rights and associated claims and causes of action, whether now
|
||||
known or unknown (including existing as well as future claims and causes of
|
||||
action), in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum
|
||||
duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time
|
||||
extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of
|
||||
copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation
|
||||
commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes
|
||||
the Waiver for the benefit of each member of the public at large and to the
|
||||
detriment of Affirmer's heirs and successors, fully intending that such Waiver
|
||||
shall not be subject to revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or
|
||||
any other legal or equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work
|
||||
by the public as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason be
|
||||
judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the Waiver
|
||||
shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into account
|
||||
Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the extent the Waiver
|
||||
is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected person a royalty-free,
|
||||
non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, irrevocable and
|
||||
unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights in
|
||||
the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration
|
||||
provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii)
|
||||
in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any
|
||||
purpose whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or
|
||||
promotional purposes (the "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as
|
||||
of the date CC0 was applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the
|
||||
License for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under
|
||||
applicable law, such partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not
|
||||
invalidate the remainder of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby
|
||||
affirms that he or she will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining
|
||||
Copyright and Related Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims
|
||||
and causes of action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to
|
||||
Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
|
||||
3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason
|
||||
be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the
|
||||
Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into
|
||||
account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the
|
||||
extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected
|
||||
person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive,
|
||||
irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and
|
||||
Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the
|
||||
maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future
|
||||
time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number
|
||||
of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without
|
||||
limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the
|
||||
"License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was
|
||||
applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any
|
||||
reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such
|
||||
partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder
|
||||
of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she
|
||||
will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related
|
||||
Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of
|
||||
action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's
|
||||
express Statement of Purpose.

||||

||||
