    License

    THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS CREATIVE
    COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS PROTECTED BY
    COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER THAN AS
    AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS PROHIBITED.

    BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE
    BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. TO THE EXTENT THIS LICENSE MAY BE
    CONSIDERED TO BE A CONTRACT, THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU THE RIGHTS CONTAINED HERE
    IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

    1. Definitions

       1. "Adaptation" means a work based upon the Work, or upon the Work and other
    pre-existing works, such as a translation, adaptation, derivative work,
    arrangement of music or other alterations of a literary or artistic work, or
    phonogram or performance and includes cinematographic adaptations or any other
    form in which the Work may be recast, transformed, or adapted including in any
    form recognizably derived from the original, except that a work that
    constitutes a Collection will not be considered an Adaptation for the purpose
    of this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical work,
    performance or phonogram, the synchronization of the Work in timed-relation
    with a moving image ("synching") will be considered an Adaptation for the
    purpose of this License.
       2. "Collection" means a collection of literary or artistic works, such as
    encyclopedias and anthologies, or performances, phonograms or broadcasts, or
    other works or subject matter other than works listed in Section 1(f) below,
    which, by reason of the selection and arrangement of their contents, constitute
    intellectual creations, in which the Work is included in its entirety in
    unmodified form along with one or more other contributions, each constituting
    separate and independent works in themselves, which together are assembled into
    a collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collection will not be considered
    an Adaptation (as defined above) for the purposes of this License.
       3. "Distribute" means to make available to the public the original and
    copies of the Work or Adaptation, as appropriate, through sale or other
    transfer of ownership.
       4. "Licensor" means the individual, individuals, entity or entities that
    offer(s) the Work under the terms of this License.
       5. "Original Author" means, in the case of a literary or artistic work, the
    individual, individuals, entity or entities who created the Work or if no
    individual or entity can be identified, the publisher; and in addition (i) in
    the case of a performance the actors, singers, musicians, dancers, and other
    persons who act, sing, deliver, declaim, play in, interpret or otherwise
    perform literary or artistic works or expressions of folklore; (ii) in the case
    of a phonogram the producer being the person or legal entity who first fixes
    the sounds of a performance or other sounds; and, (iii) in the case of
    broadcasts, the organization that transmits the broadcast.
       6. "Work" means the literary and/or artistic work offered under the terms of
    this License including without limitation any production in the literary,
    scientific and artistic domain, whatever may be the mode or form of its
    expression including digital form, such as a book, pamphlet and other writing;
    a lecture, address, sermon or other work of the same nature; a dramatic or
    dramatico-musical work; a choreographic work or entertainment in dumb show; a
    musical composition with or without words; a cinematographic work to which are
    assimilated works expressed by a process analogous to cinematography; a work of
    drawing, painting, architecture, sculpture, engraving or lithography; a
    photographic work to which are assimilated works expressed by a process
    analogous to photography; a work of applied art; an illustration, map, plan,
    sketch or three-dimensional work relative to geography, topography,
    architecture or science; a performance; a broadcast; a phonogram; a compilation
    of data to the extent it is protected as a copyrightable work; or a work
    performed by a variety or circus performer to the extent it is not otherwise
    considered a literary or artistic work.
       7. "You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this License
    who has not previously violated the terms of this License with respect to the
    Work, or who has received express permission from the Licensor to exercise
    rights under this License despite a previous violation.
       8. "Publicly Perform" means to perform public recitations of the Work and to
    communicate to the public those public recitations, by any means or process,
    including by wire or wireless means or public digital performances; to make
    available to the public Works in such a way that members of the public may
    access these Works from a place and at a place individually chosen by them; to
    perform the Work to the public by any means or process and the communication to
    the public of the performances of the Work, including by public digital
    performance; to broadcast and rebroadcast the Work by any means including
    signs, sounds or images.
       9. "Reproduce" means to make copies of the Work by any means including
    without limitation by sound or visual recordings and the right of fixation and
    reproducing fixations of the Work, including storage of a protected performance
    or phonogram in digital form or other electronic medium.

    2. Fair Dealing Rights. Nothing in this License is intended to reduce, limit,
    or restrict any uses free from copyright or rights arising from limitations or
    exceptions that are provided for in connection with the copyright protection
    under copyright law or other applicable laws.

    3. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, Licensor
    hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the
    duration of the applicable copyright) license to exercise the rights in the
    Work as stated below:

       1. to Reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more
    Collections, and to Reproduce the Work as incorporated in the Collections;
       2. to create and Reproduce Adaptations provided that any such Adaptation,
    including any translation in any medium, takes reasonable steps to clearly
    label, demarcate or otherwise identify that changes were made to the original
    Work. For example, a translation could be marked "The original work was
    translated from English to Spanish," or a modification could indicate "The
    original work has been modified.";
       3. to Distribute and Publicly Perform the Work including as incorporated in
    Collections; and,
       4. to Distribute and Publicly Perform Adaptations.

    The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now known or
    hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make such
    modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in other
    media and formats. Subject to Section 8(f), all rights not expressly granted by
    Licensor are hereby reserved, including but not limited to the rights set forth
    in Section 4(d).

    4. Restrictions. The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made
    subject to and limited by the following restrictions:

       1. You may Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work only under the terms of
    this License. You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier
    (URI) for, this License with every copy of the Work You Distribute or Publicly
    Perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on the Work that restrict the
    terms of this License or the ability of the recipient of the Work to exercise
    the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the License. You may
    not sublicense the Work. You must keep intact all notices that refer to this
    License and to the disclaimer of warranties with every copy of the Work You
    Distribute or Publicly Perform. When You Distribute or Publicly Perform the
    Work, You may not impose any effective technological measures on the Work that
    restrict the ability of a recipient of the Work from You to exercise the rights
    granted to that recipient under the terms of the License. This Section 4(a)
    applies to the Work as incorporated in a Collection, but this does not require
    the Collection apart from the Work itself to be made subject to the terms of
    this License. If You create a Collection, upon notice from any Licensor You
    must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Collection any credit as
    required by Section 4(c), as requested. If You create an Adaptation, upon
    notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the
    Adaptation any credit as required by Section 4(c), as requested.
       2. You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3 above
    in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial
    advantage or private monetary compensation. The exchange of the Work for other
    copyrighted works by means of digital file-sharing or otherwise shall not be
    considered to be intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or
    private monetary compensation, provided there is no payment of any monetary
    compensation in connection with the exchange of copyrighted works.
       3. If You Distribute, or Publicly Perform the Work or any Adaptations or
    Collections, You must, unless a request has been made pursuant to Section 4(a),
    keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and provide, reasonable to the
    medium or means You are utilizing: (i) the name of the Original Author (or
    pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied, and/or if the Original Author and/or
    Licensor designate another party or parties (e.g., a sponsor institute,
    publishing entity, journal) for attribution ("Attribution Parties") in
    Licensor's copyright notice, terms of service or by other reasonable means, the
    name of such party or parties; (ii) the title of the Work if supplied; (iii) to
    the extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor specifies to
    be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the copyright
    notice or licensing information for the Work; and, (iv) consistent with Section
    3(b), in the case of an Adaptation, a credit identifying the use of the Work in
    the Adaptation (e.g., "French translation of the Work by Original Author," or
    "Screenplay based on original Work by Original Author"). The credit required by
    this Section 4(c) may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided,
    however, that in the case of a Adaptation or Collection, at a minimum such
    credit will appear, if a credit for all contributing authors of the Adaptation
    or Collection appears, then as part of these credits and in a manner at least
    as prominent as the credits for the other contributing authors. For the
    avoidance of doubt, You may only use the credit required by this Section for
    the purpose of attribution in the manner set out above and, by exercising Your
    rights under this License, You may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply
    any connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by the Original Author,
    Licensor and/or Attribution Parties, as appropriate, of You or Your use of the
    Work, without the separate, express prior written permission of the Original
    Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties.
       4.

          For the avoidance of doubt:
             1. Non-waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in
    which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory
    licensing scheme cannot be waived, the Licensor reserves the exclusive right to
    collect such royalties for any exercise by You of the rights granted under this
    License;
             2. Waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in
    which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory
    licensing scheme can be waived, the Licensor reserves the exclusive right to
    collect such royalties for any exercise by You of the rights granted under this
    License if Your exercise of such rights is for a purpose or use which is
    otherwise than noncommercial as permitted under Section 4(b) and otherwise
    waives the right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory
    licensing scheme; and,
             3. Voluntary License Schemes. The Licensor reserves the right to
    collect royalties, whether individually or, in the event that the Licensor is a
    member of a collecting society that administers voluntary licensing schemes,
    via that society, from any exercise by You of the rights granted under this
    License that is for a purpose or use which is otherwise than noncommercial as
    permitted under Section 4(c).
       5. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Licensor or as may be
    otherwise permitted by applicable law, if You Reproduce, Distribute or Publicly
    Perform the Work either by itself or as part of any Adaptations or Collections,
    You must not distort, mutilate, modify or take other derogatory action in
    relation to the Work which would be prejudicial to the Original Author's honor
    or reputation. Licensor agrees that in those jurisdictions (e.g. Japan), in
    which any exercise of the right granted in Section 3(b) of this License (the
    right to make Adaptations) would be deemed to be a distortion, mutilation,
    modification or other derogatory action prejudicial to the Original Author's
    honor and reputation, the Licensor will waive or not assert, as appropriate,
    this Section, to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable national law,
    to enable You to reasonably exercise Your right under Section 3(b) of this
    License (right to make Adaptations) but not otherwise.

    5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer

    UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR 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, MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A
    PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
    ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE.
    SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH
    EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

    6. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN
    NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL,
    INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS
    LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
    POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

    7. Termination

       1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
    automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License. Individuals
    or entities who have received Adaptations or Collections from You under this
    License, however, will not have their licenses terminated provided such
    individuals or entities remain in full compliance with those licenses. Sections
    1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will survive any termination of this License.
       2. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here is
    perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work).
    Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the Work
    under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at any time;
    provided, however that any such election will not serve to withdraw this
    License (or any other license that has been, or is required to be, granted
    under the terms of this License), and this License will continue in full force
    and effect unless terminated as stated above.

    8. Miscellaneous

       1. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work or a Collection,
    the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same terms
    and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
       2. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation, Licensor
    offers to the recipient a license to the original Work on the same terms and
    conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
       3. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under
    applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
    remainder of the terms of this License, and without further action by the
    parties to this agreement, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum
    extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
       4. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no breach
    consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by
    the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.
       5. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with
    respect to the Work licensed here. There are no understandings, agreements or
    representations with respect to the Work not specified here. Licensor shall not
    be bound by any additional provisions that may appear in any communication from
    You. This License may not be modified without the mutual written agreement of
    the Licensor and You.
       6. The rights granted under, and the subject matter referenced, in this
    License were drafted utilizing the terminology of the Berne Convention for the
    Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (as amended on September 28, 1979),
    the Rome Convention of 1961, the WIPO Copyright Treaty of 1996, the WIPO
    Performances and Phonograms Treaty of 1996 and the Universal Copyright
    Convention (as revised on July 24, 1971). These rights and subject matter take
    effect in the relevant jurisdiction in which the License terms are sought to be
    enforced according to the corresponding provisions of the implementation of
    those treaty provisions in the applicable national law. If the standard suite
    of rights granted under applicable copyright law includes additional rights not
    granted under this License, such additional rights are deemed to be included in
    the License; this License is not intended to restrict the license of any rights
    under applicable law.
