a. License grant.
99+
100+
1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License,
101+
the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
102+
non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to
103+
exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:

105+
a. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or
106+
in part; and
107+
108+

109+
110+
2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where
111+

112+
License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with
113+
its terms and conditions.
114+
115+
3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section
116+
6(a).
117+
118+

Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in
120+
all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created,
121+
and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The
122+
Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or
123+
authority to forbid You from making technical modifications
124+
necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
125+
technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective
126+
Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License,
127+
simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)
128+
(4) never produces Adapted Material.
129+
130+
5. Downstream recipients.
131+
132+
a. Offer from the Licensor -- Licensed Material. Every
133+
recipient of the Licensed Material automatically
134+
receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the
135+
Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this
136+
Public License.
137+
138+
b. Additional offer from the Licensor -- Adapted Material.
139+
Every recipient of Adapted Material from You
140+
automatically receives an offer from the Licensor to
141+
exercise the Licensed Rights in the Adapted Material
142+
under the conditions of the Adapter's License You apply.
143+
144+
c. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose
145+
any additional or different terms or conditions on, or
146+
apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the
147+
Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the
148+
Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed
149+
Material.
150+
151+
6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
152+
may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You
153+
are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected
154+
with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by,
155+
the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as
156+
provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
157+
158+
b. Other rights.
159+
160+
1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not
161+
licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity,
162+
privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to
163+
the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to
164+
assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited
165+
extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed
166+
Rights, but not otherwise.
167+
168+
2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this
169+
Public License.
170+
171+
3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to
172+
collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed
173+
Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society
174+
under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory
175+
licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly
176+
reserves any right to collect such royalties.
177+
178+
179+
Section 3 -- License Conditions.
180+
181+
Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the
182+
following conditions.

Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or
213+
hyperlink to, this Public License.
214+
215+
2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any
216+
reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in
217+
which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be
218+
reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or
219+
hyperlink to a resource that includes the required
220+
information.
221+
222+
3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the
223+

224+
reasonably practicable.
225+
226+

227+

In addition to the conditions in Section 3(a), if You Share
229+
Adapted Material You produce, the following conditions also apply.
230+
231+
1. The Adapter's License You apply must be a Creative Commons
232+
license with the same License Elements, this version or
233+
later, or a BY-SA Compatible License.
234+
235+
2. You must include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, the
236+
Adapter's License You apply. You may satisfy this condition
237+
in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and
238+
context in which You Share Adapted Material.
239+
240+
3. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms
241+
or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological
242+
Measures to, Adapted Material that restrict exercise of the
243+
rights granted under the Adapter's License You apply.
244+
245+
246+
Section 4 -- Sui Generis Database Rights.
247+
248+
Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that
249+
apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:
250+
251+
a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right
252+
to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial
253+
portion of the contents of the database;
254+
255+
b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database
256+
contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database
257+
Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database
258+
Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material,
259+
including for purposes of Section 3(b); and
260+
261+
c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share
262+
all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
263+
264+

replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed
266+
Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
267+
268+
269+
Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
270+

272+
EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS
273+
AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF
274+
ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS,
275+
IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
276+
WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
277+
PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
278+
ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
279+
KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE. WHERE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES ARE NOT
280+
ALLOWED IN FULL OR IN PART, THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
281+
282+
b. TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE
283+
TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
284+
NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
285+
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER LOSSES,
286+
COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS PUBLIC LICENSE OR
287+
USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIAL, EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN

ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR
289+
DAMAGES. WHERE A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FULL OR
290+
IN PART, THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
291+
292+
c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided
293+
above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent
294+
possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and

waiver of all liability.

297+
298+
Section 6 -- Term and Termination.
299+
300+
a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and
301+
Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with
302+
this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License
303+
terminate automatically.
304+
305+
b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under
306+
Section 6(a), it reinstates:
307+
308+
1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided
309+
it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the
310+
violation; or
311+
312+
2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
313+
314+
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any
315+
right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations
316+
of this Public License.
317+
318+
c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the
319+
Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop
320+
distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so
321+
will not terminate this Public License.
322+
323+
d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public
324+
License.
325+
326+

independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License.
335+
336+
337+
Section 8 -- Interpretation.
338+
339+
a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and
340+
shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose
341+
conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully
342+
be made without permission under this Public License.
343+
344+
b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is
345+
deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the
346+
minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision
347+
cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License
348+
without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and
349+
conditions.
350+
351+
c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no
352+
failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the
353+
Licensor.
354+
355+
d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted
356+
as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities
357+
that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal
358+
processes of any jurisdiction or authority.
