28 Statement of Purpose
29
30 The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically
31 confer exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon
32 the creator and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of
33 an original work of authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
34
35 Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a
36 Work for the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative,
37 cultural and scientific works ("Commons") that the public can
38 reliably and without fear of later claims of infringement build
39 upon, modify, incorporate in other works, reuse and redistribute
40 as freely as possible in any form whatsoever and for any purposes,
41 including without limitation commercial purposes. These owners may
42 contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free culture
43 and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific
44 works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their
45 Work in part through the use and efforts of others.
46
47 For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any
48 expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the
49 person associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent
50 that he or she is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the
51 Work, voluntarily elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly
52 distribute the Work under its terms, with knowledge of his or her
53 Copyright and Related Rights in the Work and the meaning and
54 intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights.
55
56 1. Copyright and Related Rights.
57 A Work made available under CC0 may be protected by copyright
58 and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and Related
59 Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not
60 limited to, the following:
61
62 i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform,
63 display, communicate, and translate a Work;
64 ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or
65 performer(s);
66 iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's
67 image or likeness depicted in a Work;
68 iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to
69 a Work, subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a),
70 below;
71 v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and
72 reuse of data in a Work;
73 vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive
74 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of
75 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases, and
76 under any national implementation thereof, including any
77 amended or successor version of such directive); and
78 vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights
79 throughout the world based on applicable law or treaty,
80 and any national implementations thereof.
81
82 2. Waiver.
83 To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention
84 of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully,
85 permanently, irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons,
86 and surrenders all of Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights
87 and associated claims and causes of action, whether now known
88 or unknown (including existing as well as future claims and
89 causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories
90 worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable
91 law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any
92 current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv)
93 for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation
94 commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "Waiver").
95 Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each member of the
96 public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and
97 successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be
98 subject to revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination,
99 or any other legal or equitable action to disrupt the quiet
100 enjoyment of the Work by the public as contemplated by
101 Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
102
103 3. Public License Fallback.
104 Should any part of the Waiver for any reason be judged legally
105 invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the Waiver
106 shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into
107 account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition,
108 to the extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to
109 each affected person a royalty-free, non transferable, non
110 sublicensable, non exclusive, irrevocable and unconditional
111 license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights in
112 the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum
113 duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future
114 time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for
115 any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever,
116 including without limitation commercial, advertising or
117 promotional purposes (the "License"). The License shall be
118 deemed effective as of the date CC0 was applied by Affirmer to
119 the Work. Should any part of the License for any reason be
120 judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law,
121 such partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate
122 the remainder of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby
123 affirms that he or she will not (i) exercise any of his or her
124 remaining Copyright and Related Rights in the Work or (ii)
125 assert any associated claims and causes of action with respect
126 to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's express
127 Statement of Purpose.
128
129 4. Limitations and Disclaimers.
130 a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived,
131 abandoned, surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by
132 this document.
133
134 b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations
135 or warranties of any kind concerning the Work, express,
136 implied, statutory or otherwise, including without
137 limitation warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for
138 a particular purpose, non infringement, or the absence of
139 latent or other defects, accuracy, or the present or absence
140 of errors, whether or not discoverable, all to the greatest
141 extent permissible under applicable law.
142
143 c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of
144 other persons that may apply to the Work or any use thereof,
145 including without limitation any person's Copyright and
146 Related Rights in the Work. Further, Affirmer disclaims
147 responsibility for obtaining any necessary consents,
148 permissions or other rights required for any use of the
149 Work.
150
151 d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons
152 is not a party to this document and has no duty or
153 obligation with respect to this CC0 or use of the Work.
