25
|
|
|
26 *1. Definitions*
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
28 1. *"Collective Work"* means a work, such as a periodical issue,
|
|
|
29 anthology or encyclopedia, in which the Work in its entirety in
|
|
|
30 unmodified form, along with a number of other contributions,
|
|
|
31 constituting separate and independent works in themselves, are
|
|
|
32 assembled into a collective whole. A work that constitutes a
|
|
|
33 Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work (as
|
|
|
34 defined below) for the purposes of this License.
|
|
|
35 2. *"Derivative Work"* means a work based upon the Work or upon the
|
|
|
36 Work and other pre-existing works, such as a translation, musical
|
|
|
37 arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture
|
|
|
38 version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment,
|
|
|
39 condensation, or any other form in which the Work may be recast,
|
|
|
40 transformed, or adapted, except that a work that constitutes a
|
|
|
41 Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work for the
|
|
|
42 purpose of this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the
|
|
|
43 Work is a musical composition or sound recording, the
|
|
|
44 synchronization of the Work in timed-relation with a moving image
|
|
|
45 ("synching") will be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose
|
|
|
46 of this License.
|
|
|
47 3. *"Licensor"* means the individual or entity that offers the Work
|
|
|
48 under the terms of this License.
|
|
|
49 4. *"Original Author"* means the individual or entity who created the
|
|
|
50 Work.
|
|
|
51 5. *"Work"* means the copyrightable work of authorship offered under
|
|
|
52 the terms of this License.
|
|
|
53 6. *"You"* means an individual or entity exercising rights under this
|
|
|
54 License who has not previously violated the terms of this License
|
|
|
55 with respect to the Work, or who has received express permission
|
|
|
56 from the Licensor to exercise rights under this License despite a
|
|
|
57 previous violation.
|
|
|
58
|
|
|
59 *2. Fair Use Rights.* Nothing in this license is intended to reduce,
|
|
|
60 limit, or restrict any rights arising from fair use, first sale or other
|
|
|
61 limitations on the exclusive rights of the copyright owner under
|
|
|
62 copyright law or other applicable laws.
|
|
|
63
|
|
|
64 *3. License Grant.* Subject to the terms and conditions of this License,
|
|
|
65 Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
|
|
|
66 perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license to
|
|
|
67 exercise the rights in the Work as stated below:
|
|
|
68
|
|
|
69 1. to reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more
|
|
|
70 Collective Works, and to reproduce the Work as incorporated in the
|
|
|
71 Collective Works;
|
|
|
72 2. to create and reproduce Derivative Works;
|
|
|
73 3. to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform
|
|
|
74 publicly, and perform publicly by means of a digital audio
|
|
|
75 transmission the Work including as incorporated in Collective Works;
|
|
|
76 4. to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform
|
|
|
77 publicly, and perform publicly by means of a digital audio
|
|
|
78 transmission Derivative Works.
|
|
|
79 5.
|
|
|
80
|
|
|
81 For the avoidance of doubt, where the work is a musical composition:
|
|
|
82
|
|
|
83 1. *Performance Royalties Under Blanket Licenses*. Licensor
|
|
|
84 waives the exclusive right to collect, whether individually
|
|
|
85 or via a performance rights society (e.g. ASCAP, BMI,
|
|
|
86 SESAC), royalties for the public performance or public
|
|
|
87 digital performance (e.g. webcast) of the Work.
|
|
|
88 2. *Mechanical Rights and Statutory Royalties*. Licensor waives
|
|
|
89 the exclusive right to collect, whether individually or via
|
|
|
90 a music rights agency or designated agent (e.g. Harry Fox
|
|
|
91 Agency), royalties for any phonorecord You create from the
|
|
|
92 Work ("cover version") and distribute, subject to the
|
|
|
93 compulsory license created by 17 USC Section 115 of the US
|
|
|
94 Copyright Act (or the equivalent in other jurisdictions).
|
|
|
95 6. *Webcasting Rights and Statutory Royalties*. For the avoidance of
|
|
|
96 doubt, where the Work is a sound recording, Licensor waives the
|
|
|
97 exclusive right to collect, whether individually or via a
|
|
|
98 performance-rights society (e.g. SoundExchange), royalties for the
|
|
|
99 public digital performance (e.g. webcast) of the Work, subject to
|
|
|
100 the compulsory license created by 17 USC Section 114 of the US
|
|
|
101 Copyright Act (or the equivalent in other jurisdictions).
|
|
|
102
|
|
|
103 The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now
|
|
|
104 known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make
|
|
|
105 such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights
|
|
|
106 in other media and formats. All rights not expressly granted by Licensor
|
|
|
107 are hereby reserved.
|
|
|
108
|
|
|
109 *4. Restrictions.*The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly
|
|
|
110 made subject to and limited by the following restrictions:
|
|
|
111
|
|
|
112 1. You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
|
|
|
113 publicly digitally perform the Work only under the terms of this
|
|
|
114 License, and You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource
|
|
|
115 Identifier for, this License with every copy or phonorecord of the
|
|
|
116 Work You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
|
|
|
117 publicly digitally perform. You may not offer or impose any terms
|
|
|
118 on the Work that alter or restrict the terms of this License or
|
|
|
119 the recipients' exercise of the rights granted hereunder. You may
|
|
|
120 not sublicense the Work. You must keep intact all notices that
|
|
|
121 refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties. You may
|
|
|
122 not distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly
|
|
|
123 digitally perform the Work with any technological measures that
|
|
|
124 control access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with
|
|
|
125 the terms of this License Agreement. The above applies to the Work
|
|
|
126 as incorporated in a Collective Work, but this does not require
|
|
|
127 the Collective Work apart from the Work itself to be made subject
|
|
|
128 to the terms of this License. If You create a Collective Work,
|
|
|
129 upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable,
|
|
|
130 remove from the Collective Work any credit as required by clause
|
|
|
131 4(b), as requested. If You create a Derivative Work, upon notice
|
|
|
132 from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from
|
|
|
133 the Derivative Work any credit as required by clause 4(b), as
|
|
|
134 requested.
|
|
|
135 2. If you distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly
|
|
|
136 digitally perform the Work or any Derivative Works or Collective
|
|
|
137 Works, You must keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and
|
|
|
138 provide, reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing: (i)
|
|
|
139 the name of the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if
|
|
|
140 supplied, and/or (ii) if the Original Author and/or Licensor
|
|
|
141 designate another party or parties (e.g. a sponsor institute,
|
|
|
142 publishing entity, journal) for attribution in Licensor's
|
|
|
143 copyright notice, terms of service or by other reasonable means,
|
|
|
144 the name of such party or parties; the title of the Work if
|
|
|
145 supplied; to the extent reasonably practicable, the Uniform
|
|
|
146 Resource Identifier, if any, that Licensor specifies to be
|
|
|
147 associated with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the
|
|
|
148 copyright notice or licensing information for the Work; and in the
|
|
|
149 case of a Derivative Work, a credit identifying the use of the
|
|
|
150 Work in the Derivative Work (e.g., "French translation of the Work
|
|
|
151 by Original Author," or "Screenplay based on original Work by
|
|
|
152 Original Author"). Such credit may be implemented in any
|
|
|
153 reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the case of a
|
|
|
154 Derivative Work or Collective Work, at a minimum such credit will
|
|
|
155 appear where any other comparable authorship credit appears and in
|
|
|
156 a manner at least as prominent as such other comparable authorship
|
|
|
157 credit.
|
|
|
158
|
|
|
159 *5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer*
|
|
|
160
|
|
|
161 UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR
|
|
|
162 OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY
|
|
|
163 KIND CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE,
|
|
|
164 INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY,
|
|
|
165 FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF
|
|
|
166 LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS,
|
|
|
167 WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
|
|
|
168 EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
|
|
|
169
|
|
|
170 *6. Limitation on Liability.* EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY
|
|
|
171 APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL
|
|
|
172 THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY
|
|
|
173 DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF
|
|
|
174 LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
|
|
|
175
|
|
|
176 *7. Termination*
|
|
|
177
|
|
|
178 1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
|
|
|
179 automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License.
|
|
|
180 Individuals or entities who have received Derivative Works or
|
|
|
181 Collective Works from You under this License, however, will not
|
|
|
182 have their licenses terminated provided such individuals or
|
|
|
183 entities remain in full compliance with those licenses. Sections
|
|
|
184 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will survive any termination of this License.
|
|
|
185 2. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted
|
|
|
186 here is perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in
|
|
|
187 the Work). Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right
|
|
|
188 to release the Work under different license terms or to stop
|
|
|
189 distributing the Work at any time; provided, however that any such
|
|
|
190 election will not serve to withdraw this License (or any other
|
|
|
191 license that has been, or is required to be, granted under the
|
|
|
192 terms of this License), and this License will continue in full
|
|
|
193 force and effect unless terminated as stated above.
|
|
|
194
|
|
|
195 *8. Miscellaneous*
|
|
|
196
|
|
|
197 1. Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform the Work or
|
|
|
198 a Collective Work, the Licensor offers to the recipient a license
|
|
|
199 to the Work on the same terms and conditions as the license
|
|
|
200 granted to You under this License.
|
|
|
201 2. Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform a
|
|
|
202 Derivative Work, Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the
|
|
|
203 original Work on the same terms and conditions as the license
|
|
|
204 granted to You under this License.
|
|
|
205 3. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under
|
|
|
206 applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability
|
|
|
207 of the remainder of the terms of this License, and without further
|
|
|
208 action by the parties to this agreement, such provision shall be
|
|
|
209 reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision
|
|
|
210 valid and enforceable.
|
|
|
211 4. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no
|
|
|
212 breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in
|
|
|
213 writing and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or
|
|
|
214 consent.
|
|
|
215 5. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
|
|
|
216 with respect to the Work licensed here. There are no
|
|
|
217 understandings, agreements or representations with respect to the
|
|
|
218 Work not specified here. Licensor shall not be bound by any
|
|
|
219 additional provisions that may appear in any communication from
|
|
|
220 You. This License may not be modified without the mutual written
|
|
|
221 agreement of the Licensor and You.

228 license. Notwithstanding the foregoing two (2) sentences, if Creative
|
|
|
229 Commons has expressly identified itself as the Licensor hereunder, it
|
