< / p >
2019-05-22 01:03:33 +00:00

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(f), 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(f), as requested.
< / li >
< li >
Subject to the exception in Section 4(e), 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.
< / li >
< li >
If the Work meets the definition of Software, You may exercise the rights granted in Section 3 only if You
provide a copy of the corresponding Source Code from which the Work was derived in digital form, or You provide a
URI for the corresponding Source Code of the Work, to any recipients upon request.
< / li >
< li >
If the Work is used as or for a Web Service, You may exercise the rights granted in Section 3 only if You
provide a copy of the corresponding Source Code from which the Work was derived in digital form, or You provide a
URI for the corresponding Source Code to the Work, to any recipients of the data served or modified by the Web
Service.
< / li >
< li >
You may exercise the rights granted in Section 3 for commercial purposes only if you satisfy any of the
following:
< ol class = "roman" >
< li > You are a worker-owned business or worker-owned collective; and< / li >
< li > after tax, all financial gain, surplus, profits and benefits produced by the business or collective are
distributed among the worker-owners< / li >
< li > You are not using such rights on behalf of a business other than those specified in 4(e.i) and
elaborated upon in 4(e.ii), nor are using such rights as a proxy on behalf of a business with the intent to
circumvent the aforementioned restrictions on such a business.< / li >
< / ol >
< / li >
< li >
Any use by a business that is privately owned and managed, and that seeks to generate profit from the labor of
employees paid by salary or other wages, is not permitted under this license.
< / li >
< li >
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(f) 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.

< li > 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, iii.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(b).< / li >

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.< / li >

< li >
If the Work is used as a Web Service, each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation, or serve data

If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the

valid and enforceable.

The rights granted under, and the subject matter referenced, in this License were drafted utilizing the

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.
