DISTRIBUTION OF THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT CREATE AN +ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS +INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS. CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES +REGARDING THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS +PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM +THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED +HEREUNDER. + +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 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. + +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 +to, the following: + +i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, + communicate, and translate a Work; + +ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or + performer(s); + +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. + +4. Limitations and Disclaimers. + +a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, + abandoned, surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this + document. + +b. Affirmer 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, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non + infringement, or the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, + or the present or absence of errors, whether or not discoverable, + all to the greatest extent permissible under applicable law. + +c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other + persons that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including + without limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the + Work. Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any + necessary consents, permissions or other rights required for any + use of the Work. + +d.
