Licensed Material is translated, altered, arranged, transformed, or
otherwise modified in a manner requiring permission under the Copyright and

copyright including, without limitation, performance, broadcast, sound

are labeled or categorized. For purposes of this Public License, the rights
specified in Section 2(b)(1)-(2) are not Copyright and Similar Rights.
Effective Technological Measures means those measures that, in the absence
of proper authority, may not be circumvented under laws fulfilling
obligations under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright Treaty adopted on
December 20, 1996, and/or similar international agreements. Exceptions and
Limitations means fair use, fair dealing, and/or any other exception or
limitation to Copyright and Similar Rights that applies to Your use of the
Licensed Material. License Elements means the license attributes listed in
the name of a Creative Commons Public License. The License Elements of this

artistic or literary work, database, or other material to which the Licensor

limited to all Copyright and Similar Rights that apply to Your use of the
Licensed Material and that the Licensor has authority to license. Licensor

material from a place and at a time individually chosen by them. Sui

non-exclusive, irrevocable license to exercise the Licensed Rights in the
Licensed Material to: reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or
in part; and produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material. Exceptions and
Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where Exceptions and Limitations
apply to Your use, this Public License does not apply, and You do not need
to comply with its terms and conditions. Term. The term of this Public
License is specified in Section 6(a). Media and formats; technical
modifications allowed. The Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed
Rights in all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created, and
to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The Licensor waives
and/or agrees not to assert any right or authority to forbid You from making
technical modifications necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective Technological
Measures. For purposes of this Public License, simply making modifications
authorized by this Section 2(a)(4) never produces Adapted Material.
Downstream recipients. Offer from the Licensor – Licensed Material. Every
recipient of the Licensed Material automatically receives an offer from the
Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of
this Public License. Additional offer from the Licensor – Adapted Material.

from the Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights in the Adapted Material
under the conditions of the Adapter’s License You apply. No downstream
restrictions. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms
or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the
Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the Licensed Rights by
any recipient of the Licensed Material. No endorsement. Nothing in this
Public License constitutes or may be construed as permission to assert or
imply that You are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected
with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by, the Licensor or
others designated to receive attribution as provided in Section
3(a)(1)(A)(i).
Other rights. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not
licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other
similar personality rights; however, to the extent possible, the Licensor
waives and/or agrees not to assert any such rights held by the Licensor to
the limited extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights,
but not otherwise. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this
Public License. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to
collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether
directly or through a collecting society under any voluntary or waivable
statutory or compulsory licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor
expressly reserves any right to collect such royalties.
Section 3 – License Conditions.
Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the following conditions.
Attribution.
If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form), You
must: retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with the
Licensed Material: identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed
Material and any others designated to receive attribution, in any
reasonable manner requested by the Licensor (including by pseudonym if
designated); a copyright notice; a notice that refers to this Public
License; a notice that refers to the disclaimer of warranties; a URI or
hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the extent reasonably practicable;
indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and retain an indication
of any previous modifications; and indicate the Licensed Material is
licensed under this Public License, and include the text of, or the URI
or hyperlink to, this Public License. You may satisfy the conditions in
Section 3(a)(1) in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and
context in which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be
reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or hyperlink to
a resource that includes the required information. If requested by the
Licensor, You must remove any of the information required by Section
3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably practicable. ShareAlike.
In addition to the conditions in Section 3(a), if You Share Adapted Material
You produce, the following conditions also apply. The Adapter’s License You
apply must be a Creative Commons license with the same License Elements,
this version or later, or a BY-SA Compatible License. You must include the
text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, the Adapter's License You apply. You
may satisfy this condition in any reasonable manner based on the medium,
means, and context in which You Share Adapted Material. You may not offer
or impose any additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any
Effective Technological Measures to, Adapted Material that restrict exercise
of the rights granted under the Adapter's License You apply.
Section 4 – Sui Generis Database Rights.
Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:
for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to extract,
reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of
the database; if You include all or a substantial portion of the database
contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then
the database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its
individual contents) is Adapted Material, including for purposes of Section
3(b); and You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share
all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
Section 5 – Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent
possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available,
and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the
Licensed Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or other. This
includes, without limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, fitness
for a particular purpose, non-infringement, absence of latent or other
defects, accuracy, or the presence or absence of errors, whether or not
known or discoverable. Where disclaimers of warranties are not allowed in
full or in part, this disclaimer may not apply to You. To the extent
possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to You on any legal theory
(including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise for any direct,
special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or other
losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising out of this Public License or
use of the Licensed Material, even if the Licensor has been advised of the
possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, or damages. Where a limitation
of liability is not allowed in full or in part, this limitation may not
apply to You.
The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above
shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely
approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.
Section 6 – Term and Termination.
This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights
licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public License, then
Your rights under this Public License terminate automatically.
Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section
6(a), it reinstates: automatically as of the date the violation is cured,
provided it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or
upon express reinstatement by the Licensor. For the avoidance of doubt,
this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the Licensor may have to seek
remedies for Your violations of this Public License. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material under separate
terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material at any time;
however, doing so will not terminate this Public License. Sections 1, 5, 6,
7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License.
Section 7 – Other Terms and Conditions.
The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or
conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed. Any arrangements,
understandings, or agreements regarding the Licensed Material not stated
herein are separate from and independent of the terms and conditions of this
Public License.
Section 8 – Interpretation.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and shall not be
interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions on any use of
the Licensed Material that could lawfully be made without permission under
this Public License. To the extent possible, if any provision of this
Public License is deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed
to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision
cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License without
affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions. No term
or condition of this Public License will be waived and no failure to comply
consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor. Nothing in this
Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as a limitation upon, or
waiver of, any privileges and immunities that apply to the Licensor or You,
including from the legal processes of any jurisdiction or authority.
