1
+ # Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
2
+
3
+ ## Our Pledge
4
+
5
+ In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
6
+ contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
7
+ our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
8
+ size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
9
+ nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and
10
+ orientation.
11
+
12
+ ## Our Standards
13
+
14
+ Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
15
+ include:
16
+
17
+ * Using welcoming and inclusive language
18
+ * Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
19
+ * Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
20
+ * Focusing on what is best for the community
21
+ * Showing empathy towards other community members
22
+
23
+ Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
24
+
25
+ * The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
26
+ advances
27
+ * Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
28
+ * Public or private harassment
29
+ * Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
30
+ address, without explicit permission
31
+ * Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
32
+ professional setting
33
+
34
+ ## Our Responsibilities
35
+
36
+ Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
37
+ behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
38
+ response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
39
+
40
+ Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
41
+ reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
42
+ that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
43
+ permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
44
+ threatening, offensive, or harmful.
45
+
46
+ ## Scope
47
+
48
+ This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
49
+ when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
50
+ representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
51
+ address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
52
+ representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
53
+ further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
54
+
55
+ ## Enforcement
56
+
57
+ Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
58
+ reported by contacting the project team at matthewallenblack@gmail.com. All
59
+ complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
60
+ is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
61
+ obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
62
+ Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
63
+
64
+ Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
65
+ faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
66
+ members of the project's leadership.
67
+
68
+ ## Attribution

+ TODO: Delete this and the text above, and describe your gem
6
+
7
+ ## Installation
8
+
9
+ Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
10
+
11
+ ```ruby
12
+ gem 'siddharthasampler'
13
+ ```
14
+
15
+ And then execute:
16

+ THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
2
+ PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
3
+
4
+ To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
5
+ distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
6
+ (or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
7
+ Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
8
+ Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
9
+ http://gutenberg.org/license).
10
+
11
+
12
+ Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
13
+ electronic works
14
+
15
+ 1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
16
+ electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
17
+ and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
18
+ (trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
19
+ the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
20
+ all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
21
+ If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
22
+ Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
23
+ terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
24
+ entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
25
+
26
+ 1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
27
+ used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
28
+ agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
29
+ things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
30
+ even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
31
+ paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
32
+ Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
33
+ and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
34
+ works. See paragraph 1.E below.
35
+
36
+ 1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
37
+ or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
38
+ Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
39
+ collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
40
+ individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
41
+ located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
42
+ copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
43
+ works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
44
+ are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
45
+ Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
46
+ freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
47
+ this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
48
+ the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
49
+ keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
50
+ Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
51
+
52
+ 1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
53
+ what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
54
+ a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
55
+ the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
56
+ before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
57
+ creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
58
+ Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
59
+ the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
60
+ States.
61
+
62
+ 1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
63
+
64
+ 1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
65
+ access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
66
+ whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
67
+ phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
68
+ Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
69
+ copied or distributed:
70
+
71
+ This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
72
+ almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or
73
+ re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
74
+ with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
75
+
76
+ 1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
77
+ from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
78
+ posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
79
+ and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
80
+ or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
81
+ with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
82
+ work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
83
+ through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
84
+ Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
85
+ 1.E.9.
86
+
87
+ 1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
88
+ with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
89
+ must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
90
+ terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked
91
+ to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
92
+ permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
93

94
+ 1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm

98

99

104
+ 1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
105
+ compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
106
+ word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or
107
+ distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
108
+ "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
109
+ posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
110
+ you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
111
+ copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
112
+ request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
113
+ form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
114
+ License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
115
+
116
+ 1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
117
+ performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
118
+ unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
119
+
120
+ 1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
121
+ access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
122
+ that

+ - You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
125
+ the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
126
+ you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is
127
+ owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
128
+ has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
129
+ Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments
130
+ must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
131
+ prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
132
+ returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
133
+ sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
134
+ address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
135
+ the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
136
+
137
+ - You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
138
+ you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
139
+ does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
140
+ License. You must require such a user to return or
141
+ destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
142
+ and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
143
+ Project Gutenberg-tm works.
144
+
145
+ - You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
146
+ money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
147
+ electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
148

149
+
150
+ - You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
151
+ distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
152

153
+ 1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
154
+ electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
155
+ forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
156
+ both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
157

158
+ Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
159
+
160
+ 1.F.
161
+
162
+ 1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
163
+ effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
164
+ public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
165
+ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
166
+ works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
167
+ "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
168
+ corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
169
+ property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
170
+ computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
171
+ your equipment.
172
+
173
+ 1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
174
+ of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
175
+ Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
176
+ Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
177
+ Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
178
+ liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
179
+ fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
180
+ LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
181
+ PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
182
+ TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
183
+ LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
184
+ INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
185
+ DAMAGE.
186
+
187
+ 1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
188
+ defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
189

190
+ written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
191
+ received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
192
+ your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with

+ is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
198
+ opportunities to fix the problem.
199
+
200
+ 1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
201
+ in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER

204
+
205
+ 1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
206
+ warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
207
+ If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
208
+ law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
209
+ interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
210
+ the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
211
+ provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
212
+
213
+ 1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
214
+ trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
215
+ providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
216
+ with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
217
+ promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
218
+ harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
219
+ that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
220
+ or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
221
+ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
222
+ Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
223
+
224
+
225
+ Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
226
+
227
+ Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
228
+ electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
229
+ including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
230
+ because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
231
+ people in all walks of life.
232
+
233
+ Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
234
+ assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
235
+ goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
236
+ remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
237
+ Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
238
+ and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
239
+ To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
240

+ Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
271
+ Literary Archive Foundation
272
+
273
+ Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
274
+ spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
275
+ increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
276
+ freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
277
+ array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
278
+ ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
279
+ status with the IRS.
280
+
281
+ The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
282
+ charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
283
+ States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
284
+ considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
285
+ with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
286
+ where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
287
+ SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
288
+ particular state visit http://pglaf.org
289
+
290
+ While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
291
+ have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
292
+ against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
293
+ approach us with offers to donate.
294
+
295
+ International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
296
+ any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
297
+ outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
298
+
299
+ Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
300
+ methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
301
+ ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

305
+ Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
306
+ works.
307
+
308
+ Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
309
+ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
310
+ with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
311
+ Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
312
+
313
+
314
+ Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
315
+ editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
316
+ unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
317
+ keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
