# CC0 1.0 Universal

## 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 presence 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. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a party to this document and
	has no duty or obligation with respect to this CC0 or use of the Work.
