20 Using Creative Commons Public Licenses
21
22 Creative Commons public licenses provide a standard set of terms and conditions
23 that creators and other rights holders may use to share original works of
24 authorship and other material subject to copyright and certain other rights
25 specified in the public license below. The following considerations are for
26 informational purposes only, are not exhaustive, and do not form part of our
27 licenses.
28
29 Considerations for licensors: Our public licenses are intended for use by
30 those authorized to give the public permission to use material in ways otherwise
31 restricted by copyright and certain other rights. Our licenses are irrevocable.
32 Licensors should read and understand the terms and conditions of the license
33 they choose before applying it. Licensors should also secure all rights necessary
34 before applying our licenses so that the public can reuse the material as
35 expected. Licensors should clearly mark any material not subject to the license.
36 This includes other CC-licensed material, or material used under an exception
37 or limitation to copyright. More considerations for licensors : wiki.creativecommons.org/Considerations_for_licensors
38
39 Considerations for the public: By using one of our public licenses, a licensor
40 grants the public permission to use the licensed material under specified
41 terms and conditions. If the licensor's permission is not necessary for any
42 reason–for example, because of any applicable exception or limitation to copyright–then
43 that use is not regulated by the license. Our licenses grant only permissions
44 under copyright and certain other rights that a licensor has authority to
45 grant. Use of the licensed material may still be restricted for other reasons,
46 including because others have copyright or other rights in the material. A
47 licensor may make special requests, such as asking that all changes be marked
48 or described.
49
50 Although not required by our licenses, you are encouraged to respect those
51 requests where reasonable. More considerations for the public : wiki.creativecommons.org/Considerations_for_licensees

54
55 By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to
56 be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike
57 4.0 International Public License ("Public License"). To the extent this Public
58 License may be interpreted as a contract, You are granted the Licensed Rights
59 in consideration of Your acceptance of these terms and conditions, and the
60 Licensor grants You such rights in consideration of benefits the Licensor
61 receives from making the Licensed Material available under these terms and
62 conditions.

67 that is derived from or based upon the Licensed Material and in which the

70 Rights held by the Licensor. For purposes of this Public License, where the
71 Licensed Material is a musical work, performance, or sound recording, Adapted
72 Material is always produced where the Licensed Material is synched in timed
73 relation with a moving image.

121 from Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11

139 B. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.
140

145 3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section 6(a).
146
147 4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The Licensor authorizes

151 to forbid You from making technical modifications necessary to exercise the
152 Licensed Rights, including technical modifications necessary to circumvent
153 Effective Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License, simply
154 making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)(4) never produces Adapted
155 Material.

164 of Adapted Material from You automatically receives an offer from the Licensor
165 to exercise the Licensed Rights in the Adapted Material under the conditions
166 of the Adapter's License You apply.
167
168 C. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose any additional
169 or different terms or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological
170 Measures to, the Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the Licensed
171 Rights by any recipient of the Licensed Material.
172
173 6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be construed
174 as permission to assert or imply that You are, or that Your use of the Licensed
175 Material is, connected with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status
176 by, the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as provided in
177 Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
178
179 b. Other rights.
180
181 1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed under this
182 Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other similar personality
183 rights; however, to the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees
184 not to assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited extent necessary
185 to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights, but not otherwise.
186
187 2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License.
188
189 3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect royalties
190 from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether directly or through

192 licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly reserves any right
193 to collect such royalties.
194

196
197 Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the following
198 conditions.
199
200 a. Attribution.

211 ii. a copyright notice;
212
213 iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;

243 3. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms or conditions
244 on, or apply any Effective Technological Measures to, Adapted Material that
245 restrict exercise of the rights granted under the Adapter's License You apply.
246
247 Section 4 – Sui Generis Database Rights.
248
249 Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to
250 Your use of the Licensed Material:
251
252 a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to extract,
253 reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of
254 the database;
255
256 b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in
257 a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database
258 in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual contents)
259 is Adapted Material, including for purposes of Section 3(b); and
260
261 c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or
262 a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
263
264 For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not replace
265 Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed Rights include
266 other Copyright and Similar Rights.

274 warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement,
275 absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the presence or absence of
276 errors, whether or not known or discoverable. Where disclaimers of warranties
277 are not allowed in full or in part, this disclaimer may not apply to You.
278
279 b. To the extent possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to You
280 on any legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise
281 for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary,
282 or other losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising out of this Public License
283 or use of the Licensed Material, even if the Licensor has been advised of
284 the possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, or damages. Where a limitation
285 of liability is not allowed in full or in part, this limitation may not apply
286 to You.
287
288 c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above
289 shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely
290 approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.
291

293
294 a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights
295 licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public License, then

311 under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material

330 this Public License.
331
332 b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is deemed
333 unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum extent necessary
334 to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be reformed, it shall be severed
335 from this Public License without affecting the enforceability of the remaining
336 terms and conditions.

343 or You, including from the legal processes of any jurisdiction or authority.
