+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

+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 <http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Considerations_for_licensors_and_licensees#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 <http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Considerations_for_licensors_and_licensees#Considerations_for_licensees>`_

+Creative Commons Attribution 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 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, 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.**
+
+    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
+oncerning 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.
+
+     Creative Commons is not a party to its public licenses. Notwithstanding, Creative Commons may elect
+     to apply one of its public licenses to material it publishes and in those instances will be considered
+     the "Licensor". Except for the limited purpose of indicating that material is shared under a

+     the use of the trademark "Creative Commons" or any other trademark or logo of Creative Commons without
+     its prior written consent including, without limitation, in connection with any unauthorized modifications
+     to any of its public licenses or any other arrangements, understandings, or agreements concerning use of
+     licensed material. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph does not form part of the public licenses.
