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

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

|
|
non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to
|
|
exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
|
|
|
|
A. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part; and
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where
|
|
Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public
|
|
License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with its
|
|
terms and conditions.
|
|
|
|
3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section 6(a).
|
|
|
|
4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The Licensor
|
|
authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in all media and
|
|
formats whether now known or hereafter created, and to make
|
|
technical modifications necessary to do so. The Licensor waives
|
|
and/or agrees not to assert any right or authority to forbid You
|
|
from making technical modifications necessary to exercise the
|
|
Licensed Rights, including technical modifications necessary to
|
|
circumvent Effective Technological Measures. For purposes of
|
|
this Public License, simply making modifications authorized by
|
|
this Section 2(a)(4) never produces Adapted Material.
|
|
|
|
5. Downstream recipients.
|
|
|
|
A. Offer from the Licensor - Licensed Material. Every recipient
|
|
of the Licensed Material automatically receives an offer

|
from the Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights under the
|
|
terms and conditions of this Public License.
|
|
|
|
B. Additional offer from the Licensor - Adapted Material. Every
|
|
recipient of Adapted Material from You automatically
|
|
receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the Licensed
|
|
Rights in the Adapted Material under the conditions of the
|
|
Adapter's License You apply.
|
|
|
|
C. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose any
|
|
additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any
|
|
Effective Technological Measures to, the Licensed Material
|
|
if doing so restricts exercise of the Licensed Rights by any
|
|
recipient of the Licensed Material.
|
|
|
|
6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
|
|
may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You are,
|
|
or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected with, or
|
|
sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by, the Licensor
|
|
or others designated to receive attribution as provided in
|
|
Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
|
|
|
|
b. Other rights.
|
|
|
|
1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed
|
|
under this Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or
|
|
other similar personality rights; however, to the extent
|
|
possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any
|
|
such rights held by the Licensor to the limited extent necessary
|
|
to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights, but not otherwise.
|
|
|
|
2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public
|
|
License.
|
|
|
|
3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect
|
|
royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights,
|
|
whether directly or through a collecting society under any
|
|
voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory licensing
|
|
scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly reserves any
|
|
right to collect such royalties.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
2. You must include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, the
|
|
Adapter's License You apply. You may satisfy this condition

|
|
|
|
3. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms
|
|
or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological
|
|
Measures to, Adapted Material that restrict exercise of the
|
|
rights granted under the Adapter's License You apply.
|
|
|
|
Section 4 - Sui Generis Database Rights.
|
|
|
|
Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to

|
|
the contents of the database;
|
|
|
|
b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents
|
|
in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then
|
|
the database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not
|
|
its individual contents) is Adapted Material, including for purposes
|
|
of Section 3(b); and
|
|
|
|
c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all
|
|
or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
|
|
|
|
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not
|
|
replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed
|
|
Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
|
|
|
|
Section 5 - Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
|
|
|
|

as-available, and makes no representations or warranties of any kind
|
|
concerning the Licensed Material, whether express, implied,
|
|
statutory, or other. This includes, without limitation, warranties
|
|
of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
|
|
non-infringement, absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or
|
|
the presence or absence of errors, whether or not known or
|
|
discoverable. Where disclaimers of warranties are not allowed in
|
|
full or in part, this disclaimer may not apply to You.
|
|
|
|

|
expenses, or damages arising out of this Public License or use of
|
|
the Licensed Material, even if the Licensor has been advised of the
|
|
possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, or damages. Where a
|
|
limitation of liability is not allowed in full or in part, this
|
|
limitation may not apply to You.
|
|
|
|
c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided
|
|
above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible,
|
|
most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all
|
|
liability.

|
|

|
|
|
a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and

|
|
d. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed

|
|
this Public License.
|

|
|
|

|
a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and shall
|
|
not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions
|
|
on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully be made
|
|
without permission under this Public License.
|
|
|
|
b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is
|
|
deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the
|
|
minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision
|
|
cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License
|
|
without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and
|
|
conditions.
|
|
|
|
c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no
|
|
failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the
|
|
Licensor.
|
|
|
|
d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as
|
|
a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that
|
|
apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal processes of
|

any jurisdiction or authority.
