+By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be
+bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0
+International Public License ("Public License"). To the extent this Public
+License may be interpreted as a contract, You are granted the Licensed Rights in
+consideration of Your acceptance of these terms and conditions, and the Licensor
+grants You such rights in consideration of benefits the Licensor receives from
+making the Licensed Material available under these terms and conditions.
+
+Section 1 - Definitions.
+
+a. Adapted Material means material subject to Copyright and Similar Rights that
+is derived from or based upon the Licensed Material and in which the Licensed
+Material is translated, altered, arranged, transformed, or otherwise modified in
+a manner requiring permission under the Copyright and Similar Rights held by the
+Licensor. For purposes of this Public License, where the Licensed Material is a
+musical work, performance, or sound recording, Adapted Material is always
+produced where the Licensed Material is synched in timed relation with a moving
+image.
+
+b. Adapter's License means the license You apply to Your Copyright and Similar
+Rights in Your contributions to Adapted Material in accordance with the terms
+and conditions of this Public License.
+
+c. Copyright and Similar Rights means copyright and/or similar rights closely
+related to copyright including, without limitation, performance, broadcast,
+sound recording, and Sui Generis Database Rights, without regard to how the
+rights are labeled or categorized. For purposes of this Public License, the
+rights specified in Section 2(b)(1)-(2) are not Copyright and Similar Rights.
+
+d. Effective Technological Measures means those measures that, in the absence of
+proper authority, may not be circumvented under laws fulfilling obligations
+under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright Treaty adopted on December 20, 1996,
+and/or similar international agreements.
+
+e. Exceptions and Limitations means fair use, fair dealing, and/or any other
+exception or limitation to Copyright and Similar Rights that applies to Your use
+of the Licensed Material.
+
+f. Licensed Material means the artistic or literary work, database, or other
+material to which the Licensor applied this Public License.
+
+g. Licensed Rights means the rights granted to You subject to the terms and
+conditions of this Public License, which are limited to all Copyright and
+Similar Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed Material and that the
+Licensor has authority to license.
+
+h. Licensor means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights under this
+Public License.
+
+i. Share means to provide material to the public by any means or process that
+requires permission under the Licensed Rights, such as reproduction, public
+display, public performance, distribution, dissemination, communication, or
+importation, and to make material available to the public including in ways that
+members of the public may access the material from a place and at a time
+individually chosen by them.
+
+j. Sui Generis Database Rights means rights other than copyright resulting from
+Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March
+1996 on the legal protection of databases, as amended and/or succeeded, as well
+as other essentially equivalent rights anywhere in the world.
+
+k. You means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights under this
+Public License. Your has a corresponding meaning.
+
+Section 2 - Scope.
+
+a. License grant.
+
+1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License, the Licensor
+hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive,
+irrevocable license to exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
+
+A. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part; and
+
+B. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.
+
+2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where Exceptions and
+Limitations apply to Your use, this Public License does not apply, and You do
+not need to comply with its terms and conditions.
+
+3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section 6(a).
+
+4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The Licensor authorizes
+You to exercise the Licensed Rights in all media and formats whether now known
+or hereafter created, and to make technical modifications necessary to do so.
+The Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or authority to forbid
+You from making technical modifications necessary to exercise the Licensed
+Rights, including technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective
+Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License, simply making
+modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)(4) never produces Adapted
+Material.
+
+5. Downstream recipients.
+
+A. Offer from the Licensor - Licensed Material. Every recipient of the Licensed
+Material automatically receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the
+Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this Public License.
+
+B. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose any additional or
+different terms or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological Measures
+to, the Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the Licensed Rights
+by any recipient of the Licensed Material.
+
+6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be
+construed as permission to assert or imply that You are, or that Your use of the
+Licensed Material is, connected with, sponsored, endorsed, or granted official
+status by the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as provided
+in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
+
+b. Other rights.
+
+1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed under this
+Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other similar personality
+rights; however, to the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not
+to assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited extent necessary
+to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights, but not otherwise.
+
+2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License.
+
+3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect royalties
+from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether directly or through a
+collecting society under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory
+licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly reserves any right
+to collect such royalties.
+
+Section 3 - License Conditions.
+
+Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the following
+conditions.
+
+a. Attribution.
+
+1. If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form), You must:
+
+A. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with the Licensed
+Material:
+
+i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed Material and any others
+designated to receive attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by the
+Licensor (including by pseudonym if designated);
+
+ii. a copyright notice;
+
+iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;
+
+iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of warranties;
+
+v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the extent reasonably
+practicable;
+
+B. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and retain an indication of
+any previous modifications; and
+
+C. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this Public License, and
+include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, this Public License.
+
+2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any reasonable manner
+based on the medium, means, and context in which You Share the Licensed
+Material. For example, it may be reasonable to satisfy the conditions by
+providing a URI or hyperlink to a resource that includes the required
+information.
+
+3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information required
+by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably practicable.
+
+4. If You Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter's License You apply
+must not prevent recipients of the Adapted Material from complying with this
+Public License.
+
+Section 4 - Sui Generis Database Rights.
+
+Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to Your
+use of the Licensed Material:
+
+a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to extract,
+reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the
+database;
+
+b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in a
+database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database in
+which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual contents) is
+Adapted Material; and
+
+c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or a
+substantial portion of the contents of the database.
+
+For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not replace
+Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed Rights include
+other Copyright and Similar Rights.
+
+Section 5 - Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
+
+a. Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent
+possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available, and
+makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the Licensed
+Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or other. This includes, without
+limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular
+purpose, non-infringement, absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the
+presence or absence of errors, whether or not known or discoverable. Where
+disclaimers of warranties are not allowed in full or in part, this disclaimer
+may not apply to You.
+
+b. To the extent possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to You on any
+legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise for any
+direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or
+other losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising out of this Public License or
+use of the Licensed Material, even if the Licensor has been advised of the
+possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, or damages. Where a limitation of
+liability is not allowed in full or in part, this limitation may not apply to
+You.
+
+c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above shall
+be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely
+approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.
+
+Section 6 - Term and Termination.
+
+a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights
+licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public License, then
+Your rights under this Public License terminate automatically.
+
+b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section
+6(a), it reinstates:
+
+1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured
+within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or
+
+2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
+
+For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the
+Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public License.
+
+c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material
+under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material at
+any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public License.
+
+d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License.
+
+Section 7 - Other Terms and Conditions.
+
+a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or
+conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.
+
+b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the Licensed
+Material not stated herein are separate from and independent of the terms and
+conditions of this Public License.
+
+Section 8 - Interpretation.
+
+a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and shall not be
+interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions on any use of the
+Licensed Material that could lawfully be made without permission under this
+Public License.
+
+b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is deemed
+unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum extent
+necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be reformed, it shall
+be severed from this Public License without affecting the enforceability of the
+remaining terms and conditions.
+
+c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no failure to
+comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor.
+
+d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as a
+limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that apply to the
+Licensor or You, including from the legal processes of any jurisdiction or
+authority.
