32Statement of Purpose
33
34The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
35exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator
36and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
37authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
38
39Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for
40the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and
41scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear
42of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other
43works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever
44and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes.
45These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free
46culture and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific
47works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their Work in
48part through the use and efforts of others.
49
50For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any
51expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person
52associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she
53is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily
54elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its
55terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the
56Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights.
57
581. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
59protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
60Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not
61limited to, the following:
62
63 i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display,
64 communicate, and translate a Work;
65 ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
66iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or
67 likeness depicted in a Work;
68 iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
69 subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
70 v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data
71 in a Work;
72 vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the
73 European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
74 protection of databases, and under any national implementation
75 thereof, including any amended or successor version of such
76 directive); and
77vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the
78 world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national
79 implementations thereof.
80
812. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention
82of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently,
83irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of
84Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes
85of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as
86future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories
87worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or
88treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future
89medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever,
90including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional
91purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each
92member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and
93successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to
94revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or
95equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public
96as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
97
983. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason
99be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the
100Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into
101account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the
102extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected
103person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive,
104irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and
105Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the
106maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future
107time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number
108of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without
109limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the
110"License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was
111applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any
112reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such
113partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder
114of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she
115will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related
116Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of
117action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's
118express Statement of Purpose.
119
