By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be
bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0
International Public License ("Public License"). To the extent this Public
License may be interpreted as a contract, You are granted the Licensed Rights in
consideration of Your acceptance of these terms and conditions, and the Licensor
grants You such rights in consideration of benefits the Licensor receives from
making the Licensed Material available under these terms and conditions.

Section 1 – Definitions.

Adapted Material means material subject to Copyright and Similar Rights that
is derived from or based upon the Licensed Material and in which the
Licensed Material is translated, altered, arranged, transformed, or
otherwise modified in a manner requiring permission under the Copyright and
Similar Rights held by the Licensor. For purposes of this Public License,
where the Licensed Material is a musical work, performance, or sound
recording, Adapted Material is always produced where the Licensed Material
is synched in timed relation with a moving image. Adapter's License means
the license You apply to Your Copyright and Similar Rights in Your
contributions to Adapted Material in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Public License. Copyright and Similar Rights means
copyright and/or similar rights closely related to copyright including,
without limitation, performance, broadcast, sound recording, and Sui Generis
Database Rights, without regard to how the rights are labeled or
categorized. For purposes of this Public License, the rights specified in
Section 2(b)(1)-(2) are not Copyright and Similar Rights. Effective
Technological Measures means those measures that, in the absence of proper
authority, may not be circumvented under laws fulfilling obligations under
Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright Treaty adopted on December 20, 1996, and/or
similar international agreements. Exceptions and Limitations means fair use,
fair dealing, and/or any other exception or limitation to Copyright and
Similar Rights that applies to Your use of the Licensed Material. Licensed
Material means the artistic or literary work, database, or other material to
which the Licensor applied this Public License. Licensed Rights means the
rights granted to You subject to the terms and conditions of this Public
License, which are limited to all Copyright and Similar Rights that apply to
Your use of the Licensed Material and that the Licensor has authority to
license. Licensor means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights
under this Public License. Share means to provide material to the public by
any means or process that requires permission under the Licensed Rights,
such as reproduction, public display, public performance, distribution,
dissemination, communication, or importation, and to make material available
to the public including in ways that members of the public may access the
material from a place and at a time individually chosen by them. Sui Generis
Database Rights means rights other than copyright resulting from Directive
96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on
the legal protection of databases, as amended and/or succeeded, as well as
other essentially equivalent rights anywhere in the world. You means the
individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights under this Public
License. Your has a corresponding meaning.

Section 2 – Scope.

License grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License,
the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to exercise the
Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to: reproduce and Share the
Licensed Material, in whole or in part; and produce, reproduce, and
Share Adapted Material. 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. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in
Section 6(a). 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. Downstream recipients. 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. 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. 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).

Other rights. 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. Patent and trademark rights are not
licensed under this Public License. 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.

Section 3 – License Conditions.

Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the following conditions.

Attribution.

If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form), You
must: retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with
the Licensed Material: identification of the creator(s) of the
Licensed Material and any others designated to receive attribution,
in any reasonable manner requested by the Licensor (including by
pseudonym if designated); a copyright notice; a notice that refers
to this Public License; a notice that refers to the disclaimer of
warranties; a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the
extent reasonably practicable; indicate if You modified the Licensed
Material and retain an indication of any previous modifications; and
indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this Public
License, and include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, this
Public License. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in
any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in
which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be
reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or hyperlink
to a resource that includes the required information. If requested
by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information required by
Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably practicable. If You
Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter's License You apply
must not prevent recipients of the Adapted Material from complying
with this Public License.

Section 4 – Sui Generis Database Rights.

Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to Your
use of the Licensed Material:

for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to extract,
reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of
the database; 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; and 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.

Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent
possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and 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. To the extent
possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to You on any legal theory
(including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise for any direct,
special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or other
losses, costs, 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.

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.

Section 6 – Term and Termination.

This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights
licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public License, then
Your rights under this Public License terminate automatically.

Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section
6(a), it reinstates: automatically as of the date the violation is
cured, provided it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the
violation; or upon express reinstatement by the Licensor. For the
avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the
Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public
License. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the
Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop
distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will
not terminate this Public License. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive
termination of this Public License.

Section 7 – Other Terms and Conditions.

The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or
conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed. Any arrangements,
understandings, or agreements regarding the Licensed Material not stated
herein are separate from and independent of the terms and conditions of this
Public License.

Section 8 – Interpretation.

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. 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. 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. 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.
