        <h3><em>Statement of Purpose</em></h3>

    <p>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").</p>

    <p>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.</p>

    <p>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.</p>

        <p><strong>1. Copyright and Related Rights.</strong>
       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:
    </p>

        <ol type="i">
      <li>the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform,
      display, communicate, and translate a Work;</li>

      <li> moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or
      performer(s);</li>

      <li>publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's
      image or likeness depicted in a Work;</li>

      <li>rights protecting against unfair competition in regards
      to a Work, subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a),
      below;</li>

      <li>rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and
      reuse of data in a Work;</li>

      <li>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</li>

      <li>other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights
      throughout the world based on applicable law or treaty, and
      any national implementations thereof.</li>

    </ol>

        <p><strong>2. Waiver.</strong> 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.
    </p>

        <p><strong>3. Public License Fallback.</strong> 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.</p>

        <p><strong>4. Limitations and Disclaimers.</strong></p>

        <ol type="a">
          <li>No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are
          waived, abandoned, surrendered, licensed or otherwise
          affected by this document.</li>

      <li>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.</li>

      <li>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.</li>

      <li>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.</li>
