+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.
+
+ i. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived,
+ abandoned, surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this
+ document.
+ ii. 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.
+ iii. 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.
+ iv. 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.
