- * \page license_cc0_public_domain Creative Commons Legal Code – CC0 1.0 Universal
- *
- *     CREATIVE COMMONS CORPORATION IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE
- *     LEGAL SERVICES. DISTRIBUTION OF THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT CREATE AN
- *     ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS
- *     INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS. CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES
- *     REGARDING THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS
- *     PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM
- *     THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED
- *     HEREUNDER.
- *
- * 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 present 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.
