15 | Using Creative Commons Public Licenses
|
---|
16 |
|
---|
17 | Creative Commons public licenses provide a standard set of terms and
|
---|
18 | conditions that creators and other rights holders may use to share
|
---|
19 | original works of authorship and other material subject to copyright
|
---|
20 | and certain other rights specified in the public license below. The
|
---|
21 | following considerations are for informational purposes only, are not
|
---|
22 | exhaustive, and do not form part of our licenses.
|
---|
23 |
|
---|
24 | Considerations for licensors: Our public licenses are
|
---|
25 | intended for use by those authorized to give the public
|
---|
26 | permission to use material in ways otherwise restricted by
|
---|
27 | copyright and certain other rights. Our licenses are
|
---|
28 | irrevocable. Licensors should read and understand the terms
|
---|
29 | and conditions of the license they choose before applying it.
|
---|
30 | Licensors should also secure all rights necessary before
|
---|
31 | applying our licenses so that the public can reuse the
|
---|
32 | material as expected. Licensors should clearly mark any
|
---|
33 | material not subject to the license. This includes other CC-
|
---|
34 | licensed material, or material used under an exception or
|
---|
35 | limitation to copyright. More considerations for licensors:

|

37 |
|
---|
38 | Considerations for the public: By using one of our public
|
---|
39 | licenses, a licensor grants the public permission to use the
|
---|
40 | licensed material under specified terms and conditions. If
|
---|
41 | the licensor's permission is not necessary for any reason--for
|
---|
42 | example, because of any applicable exception or limitation to
|
---|
43 | copyright--then that use is not regulated by the license. Our
|
---|
44 | licenses grant only permissions under copyright and certain
|
---|
45 | other rights that a licensor has authority to grant. Use of
|
---|
46 | the licensed material may still be restricted for other
|
---|
47 | reasons, including because others have copyright or other
|
---|
48 | rights in the material. A licensor may make special requests,
|
---|
49 | such as asking that all changes be marked or described.
|
---|
50 | Although not required by our licenses, you are encouraged to
|
---|
51 | respect those requests where reasonable. More_considerations

135 | a. License grant.
|
---|
136 |
|
---|
137 | 1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License,
|
---|
138 | the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
|
---|
139 | non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to
|
---|
140 | exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
|
---|

146 |
|
---|
147 | 2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where

150 | its terms and conditions.

151 |
|

152 | 3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section

|
---|

|
---|
161 | necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
|
---|
162 | technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective

---|
163 | Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License,
|
---|
164 | simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)
|
---|
165 | (4) never produces Adapted Material.

173 | Public License.
|

175 | b. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose
|
---|
176 | any additional or different terms or conditions on, or
|
---|
177 | apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the
|
---|
178 | Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the
|
---|
179 | Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed
|
---|
180 | Material.
|
---|
181 |
|
---|
182 | 6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
|
---|
183 | may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You
|
---|

185 | with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by,
|
---|
186 | the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as
|

---|
188 |
|
---|
189 | b. Other rights.
|
---|
190 |
|
---|
191 | 1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not
|
---|
192 | licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity,
|
---|
193 | privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to
|
---|
194 | the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to
|
---|
195 | assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited
|
---|
196 | extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed
|
---|
197 | Rights, but not otherwise.
|
---|
198 |
|
---|
199 | 2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this
|
---|
200 | Public License.
|
---|
201 |
|
---|
202 | 3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to
|
---|
203 | collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed
|
---|
204 | Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society
|
---|
205 | under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory
|
---|
206 | licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly
|
---|
207 | reserves any right to collect such royalties.

---|
250 | hyperlink to a resource that includes the required
|
---|
251 | information.
|
---|
252 |
|

---|
254 | information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent
|
---|
255 | reasonably practicable.
|
---|
256 |
|
---|
257 | 4. If You Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter's
|
---|

|
---|
266 |
|
---|

271 | b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database
|
---|
272 | contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database
|
---|
273 | Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database

|
---|
276 | c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share

|
---|
289 | ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS,
|
---|
290 | IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
|
---|
291 | WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
|
---|
292 | PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,

293 | ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT

295 | ALLOWED IN FULL OR IN PART, THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
|

297 | b. TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE

|
---|
327 | 2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
|
---|
328 |
|
---|
329 | For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any

330 | right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations
|
---|
331 | of this Public License.
|
---|
332 |
|
---|
333 | c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the
|
---|
334 | Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop
|
---|
335 | distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so
|
---|
336 | will not terminate this Public License.
|

337 |
|

338 | d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public
|

353 |
|
---|
354 | a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and
|
---|
355 | shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose
|
---|
356 | conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully
|
---|
357 | be made without permission under this Public License.
|
---|
358 |
|
---|
359 | b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is
|
---|
360 | deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the
|
---|
361 | minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision
|
---|
362 | cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License
|
---|
363 | without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and
|
---|
364 | conditions.
|
---|
365 |
|
---|
366 | c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no
|
---|
367 | failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the
|
---|
368 | Licensor.
|
---|
369 |
|
---|
370 | d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted
|
---|
371 | as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities
|
---|
372 | that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal
|
---|
373 | processes of any jurisdiction or authority.
