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.
c. If you distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform the
Work or any Collective Works, You must keep intact all copyright notices for the Work
and give the Original Author credit reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing
by conveying the name (or pseudonym if applicable) of the Original Author if supplied;
the title of the Work if supplied. Such credit may be implemented in any reasonable
manner; provided, however, that in the case of a Collective Work, at a minimum such
credit will appear where any other comparable authorship credit appears and in a manner
at least as prominent as such other comparable authorship credit.
5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
a. By offering the Work for public release under this License, Licensor represents and
warrants that, to the best of Licensor's knowledge after reasonable inquiry:
i. Licensor has secured all rights in the Work necessary to grant the license rights
hereunder and to permit the lawful exercise of the rights granted hereunder without You
having any obligation to pay any royalties, compulsory license fees, residuals or any
other payments;
ii. The Work does not infringe the copyright, trademark, publicity rights, common law
rights or any other right of any third party or constitute defamation, invasion of privacy or
other tortious injury to any third party.
b. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS LICENSE OR OTHERWISE
AGREED IN WRITING OR REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE WORK IS
LICENSED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND,
EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY
WARRANTIES REGARDING THE CONTENTS OR ACCURACY OF THE WORK.
6. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, AND EXCEPT FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM LIABILITY TO A THIRD
PARTY RESULTING FROM BREACH OF THE WARRANTIES IN SECTION 5, IN
NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY
FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE
WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES.
7. Termination
a. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon any
breach by You of the terms of this License. Individuals or entities who have received
Collective Works from You under this License, however, will not have their licenses
terminated provided such individuals or entities remain in full compliance with those
licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will survive any termination of this License.
b. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here is perpetual (for the
duration of the applicable copyright in the Work). Notwithstanding the above, Licensor
reserves the right to release the Work under different license terms or to stop distributing
the Work at any time; provided, however that any such election will not serve to
withdraw this License (or any other license that has been, or is required to be, granted
under the terms of this License), and this License will continue in full force and effect
unless terminated as stated above.
8. Miscellaneous
a. Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform the Work or a Collective Work,
the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same terms and
conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
b. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this License,
and without further action by the parties to this agreement, such provision shall be
reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
c. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no breach consented
to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by the party to be charged
with such waiver or consent.
d. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the
Work licensed here. There are no understandings, agreements or representations with
respect to the Work not specified here. Licensor shall not be bound by any additional
provisions that may appear in any communication from You. This License may not be
modified without the mutual written agreement of the Licensor and You.
