+Creative Commons Corporation ("Creative Commons") is not a law firm and
+does not provide legal services or legal advice. Distribution of Creative
+Commons public licenses does not create a lawyer-client or other
+relationship. Creative Commons makes its licenses and related information
+available on an "as-is" basis. Creative Commons gives no warranties

+conditions, or any related information. Creative Commons disclaims all

+
+Using Creative Commons Public Licenses
+
+Creative Commons public licenses provide a standard set of terms and
+conditions that creators and other rights holders may use to share original
+works of authorship and other material subject to copyright and certain
+other rights specified in the public license below. The following
+considerations are for informational purposes only, are not exhaustive, and
+do not form part of our licenses.
+
+Considerations for licensors: Our public licenses are intended for use by
+those authorized to give the public permission to use material in ways
+otherwise restricted by copyright and certain other rights. Our licenses
+are irrevocable. Licensors should read and understand the terms and
+conditions of the license they choose before applying it. Licensors should
+also secure all rights necessary before applying our licenses so that the
+public can reuse the material as expected. Licensors should clearly mark
+any material not subject to the license. This includes other CC-licensed
+material, or material used under an exception or limitation to
+copyright. More considerations for licensors :

+
+Considerations for the public: By using one of our public licenses, a
+licensor grants the public permission to use the licensed material under
+specified terms and conditions. If the licensor's permission is not
+necessary for any reason - for example, because of any applicable exception
+or limitation to copyright - then that use is not regulated by the
+license. Our licenses grant only permissions under copyright and certain
+other rights that a licensor has authority to grant. Use of the licensed
+material may still be restricted for other reasons, including because
+others have copyright or other rights in the material. A licensor may make
+special requests, such as asking that all changes be marked or described.
+
+Although not required by our licenses, you are encouraged to respect those
+requests where reasonable. More considerations for the public :

+Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License
+
+By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to
+be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons
+Attribution-ShareAlike 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. BY-SA Compatible License means a license listed at
+ creativecommons.org/compatiblelicenses, approved by Creative Commons
+ as essentially the equivalent of this Public License.
+
+ d. 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.
+
+ e. 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.
+
+ f. 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.
+
+ g. License Elements means the license attributes listed in the name of
+ a Creative Commons Public License. The License Elements of this
+ Public License are Attribution and ShareAlike.
+
+ h. Licensed Material means the artistic or literary work, database, or

+
+ i. Licensed Rights means the rights granted to You subject to the terms

+ Copyright and Similar Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed
+ Material and that the Licensor has authority to license.
+
+ j. Licensor means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights
+ under this Public License.
+
+ k. 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.
+
+ l. 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. m. 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. Additional offer from the Licensor - Adapted Material. Every
+ recipient of Adapted Material from You automatically
+ receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the Licensed
+ Rights in the Adapted Material under the conditions of the
+ Adapter's License You apply.
+
+ C. 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, or
+ 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.

+ 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;
+

+ 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. b. ShareAlike.In addition to the
+ conditions in Section 3(a), if You Share Adapted Material You
+ produce, the following conditions also apply.

+ license with the same License Elements, this version or
+ later, or a BY-SA Compatible License.
+
+ 2. You must include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, the
+ Adapter's License You apply. You may satisfy this condition
+ in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and
+ context in which You Share Adapted Material.
+
+ 3. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms
+ or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological
+ Measures to, Adapted Material that restrict exercise of the
+ rights granted under the Adapter's License You apply.
+
+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, including for purposes
+ of Section 3(b); 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.
+
+ c. 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.
+
+ d. 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

+Section 7 - Other Terms and Conditions.
+
+ a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms

+ 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.
