    Statement of Purpose
    
    The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
    exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator and
    subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
    authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
    
    Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for the
    purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and scientific
    works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear of later
    claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other works, reuse
    and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever and for any
    purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes. These owners may
    contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free culture and the
    further production of creative, cultural and scientific works, or to gain
    reputation or greater distribution for their Work in part through the use and
    efforts of others.
    
    For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any expectation
    of additional consideration or compensation, the person associating CC0 with a
    Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she is an owner of Copyright
    and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily elects to apply CC0 to the Work
    and publicly distribute the Work under its terms, with knowledge of his or her
    Copyright and Related Rights in the Work and the meaning and intended legal
    effect of CC0 on those rights.
    
    1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
    protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
    Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not limited
    to, the following:
    
      i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, communicate,
      and translate a Work;
    
      ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
    
      iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or likeness
      depicted in a Work;
    
      iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
      subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
    
      v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data in
      a Work;
    
      vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the
      European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
      protection of databases, and under any national implementation thereof,
      including any amended or successor version of such directive); and
    
      vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the world
      based on applicable law or treaty, and any national implementations thereof.
    
    2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention of,
    applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently, irrevocably and
    unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of Affirmer's Copyright
    and Related Rights and associated claims and causes of action, whether now
    known or unknown (including existing as well as future claims and causes of
    action), in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum
    duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time
    extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of
    copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation
    commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes
    the Waiver for the benefit of each member of the public at large and to the
    detriment of Affirmer's heirs and successors, fully intending that such Waiver
    shall not be subject to revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or
    any other legal or equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work
    by the public as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
    
    3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason be
    judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the Waiver
    shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into account
    Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the extent the Waiver
    is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected person a royalty-free,
    non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, irrevocable and
    unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights in
    the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration
    provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii)
    in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any
    purpose whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or
    promotional purposes (the "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as
    of the date CC0 was applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the
    License for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under
    applicable law, such partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not
    invalidate the remainder of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby
    affirms that he or she will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining
    Copyright and Related Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims
    and causes of action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to
    Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
    
    4. Limitations and Disclaimers.
    
      a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
      surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
    
      b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or warranties
      of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied, statutory or otherwise,
      including without limitation warranties of title, merchantability, fitness
      for a particular purpose, non infringement, or the absence of latent or
      other defects, accuracy, or the present or absence of errors, whether or not
      discoverable, all to the greatest extent permissible under applicable law.
    
      c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons
      that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without limitation
      any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work. Further, Affirmer
      disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary consents, permissions
      or other rights required for any use of the Work.
    
      d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a
      party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to this
      CC0 or use of the Work.
