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

## 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:

1. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display,
   communicate, and translate a Work;
2. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
3. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or
   likeness depicted in a Work;
4. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
   subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
5. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data
   in a Work;
6. 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
7. 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. ###

1. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
   surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
