ODC Attribution License (ODC-By) ###
|
|
|
|
Preamble
|
|
|
|
The Open Data Commons Attribution License is a license agreement intended
|
|
to allow users to freely share, modify, and use this Database subject only
|
|
to the attribution requirements set out in Section 4.
|
|
|
|
Databases can contain a wide variety of types of content (images, audiovisual
|
|
material, and sounds all in the same database, for example), and so this license
|
|
only governs the rights over the Database, and not the contents of the Database
|
|
individually. Licensors may therefore wish to use this license together with
|
|
another license for the contents.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes the contents of a database, or the database itself, can be covered
|
|
by other rights not addressed here (such as private contracts, trademark over
|
|
the name, or privacy rights / data protection rights over information in the
|
|
contents), and so you are advised that you may have to consult other documents
|
|
or clear other rights before doing activities not covered by this License.
|
|

|
|
The Licensor (as defined below)
|
|

|
a collection of independent databases in themselves that together are assembled

|
and Using a Produced Work, where no transfer of a copy of the Database or
|
|
a Derivative Database occurs.
|
|
|
|
"Contents" - The contents of this Database, which includes the information,
|
|
independent works, or other material collected into the Database. For example,

|
|
|
|
2.0 What this License covers
|
|
|
|
2.1. Legal effect of this document. This License is:
|
|
|
|
a. A license of applicable copyright and neighbouring rights;
|
|
|
|
b. A license of the Database Right; and
|
|
|
|
c. An agreement in contract between You and the Licensor.
|
|
|
|
2.2 Legal rights covered. This License covers the legal rights in the Database,
|
|
including:
|
|
|
|
a. Copyright. Any copyright or neighbouring rights in the Database. The copyright
|
|
licensed includes any individual elements of the Database, but does not cover
|
|
the copyright over the Contents independent of this Database. See Section
|
|
2.4 for details. Copyright law varies between jurisdictions, but is likely
|
|
to cover: the Database model or schema, which is the structure, arrangement,
|
|
and organisation of the Database, and can also include the Database tables
|
|
and table indexes; the data entry and output sheets; and the Field names of
|
|
Contents stored in the Database;
|
|
|
|
b. Database Rights. Database Rights only extend to the Extraction and Re-utilisation
|
|
of the whole or a Substantial part of the Contents. Database Rights can apply
|
|
even when there is no copyright over the Database. Database Rights can also
|
|
apply when the Contents are removed from the Database and are selected and
|
|
arranged in a way that would not infringe any applicable copyright; and
|
|
|
|
c. Contract. This is an agreement between You and the Licensor for access
|
|
to the Database. In return you agree to certain conditions of use on this
|
|
access as outlined in this License.
|
|
|
|
2.3 Rights not covered.
|
|
|
|
a. This License does not apply to computer programs used in the making or
|
|
operation of the Database;
|
|
|
|
b. This License does not cover any patents over the Contents or the Database;
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
c. This License does not cover any trademarks associated with the Database.
|
|
|
|
2.4 Relationship to Contents in the Database. The individual items of the
|
|
Contents contained in this Database may be covered by other rights, including
|
|
copyright, patent, data protection, privacy, or personality rights, and this
|
|
License does not cover any rights (other than Database Rights or in contract)
|
|
in individual Contents contained in the Database. For example, if used on
|
|
a Database of images (the Contents), this License would not apply to copyright
|
|
over individual images, which could have their own separate licenses, or one
|
|
single license covering all of the rights over the images.
|
|
|
|
3.0 Rights granted
|
|
|
|
3.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, the Licensor grants
|
|
to You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, terminable (but only under
|
|
Section 9) license to Use the Database for the duration of any applicable
|
|
copyright and Database Rights. These rights explicitly include commercial
|
|
use, and do not exclude any field of endeavour. To the extent possible in
|
|
the relevant jurisdiction, these rights may be exercised in all media and
|
|
formats whether now known or created in the future.
|
|
|
|
The rights granted cover, for example:
|
|
|
|
a. Extraction and Re-utilisation of the whole or a Substantial part of the
|
|
Contents;
|
|
|
|
b. Creation of Derivative Databases;
|
|
|
|
c. Creation of Collective Databases;
|
|
|
|
d. Creation of temporary or permanent reproductions by any means and in any
|
|
form, in whole or in part, including of any Derivative Databases or as a part
|
|
of Collective Databases; and
|
|
|
|
e. Distribution, communication, display, lending, making available, or performance
|
|
to the public by any means and in any form, in whole or in part, including
|
|
of any Derivative Database or as a part of Collective Databases.
|
|
|
|
3.2 Compulsory license schemes. For the avoidance of doubt:
|
|
|
|
a. Non-waivable compulsory license schemes. In those jurisdictions in which
|
|
the right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory licensing
|
|
scheme cannot be waived, the Licensor reserves the exclusive right to collect
|
|
such royalties for any exercise by You of the rights granted under this License;
|
|
|
|
b. Waivable compulsory license schemes. In those jurisdictions in which the
|
|
right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory licensing scheme
|
|
can be waived, the Licensor waives the exclusive right to collect such royalties
|
|
for any exercise by You of the rights granted under this License; and,
|
|
|
|
c. Voluntary license schemes. The Licensor waives the right to collect royalties,
|
|
whether individually or, in the event that the Licensor is a member of a collecting
|
|
society that administers voluntary licensing schemes, via that society, from
|
|
any exercise by You of the rights granted under this License.
|
|
|
|
3.3 The right to release the Database under different terms, or to stop distributing
|
|
or making available the Database, is reserved. Note that this Database may
|
|
be multiple-licensed, and so You may have the choice of using alternative
|
|
licenses for this Database. Subject to Section 10.4, all other rights not
|
|
expressly granted by Licensor are reserved.
|
|
|
|
4.0 Conditions of Use
|
|
|
|
4.1 The rights granted in Section 3 above are expressly made subject to Your
|
|
complying with the following conditions of use. These are important conditions
|
|
of this License, and if You fail to follow them, You will be in material breach
|
|
of its terms.
|
|
|
|
4.2 Notices. If You Publicly Convey this Database, any Derivative Database,
|
|
or the Database as part of a Collective Database, then You must:
|
|
|
|
a. Do so only under the terms of this License;
|
|
|
|
b. Include a copy of this License or its Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)
|
|
with the Database or Derivative Database, including both in the Database or
|
|
Derivative Database and in any relevant documentation;
|
|
|
|
c. Keep intact any copyright or Database Right notices and notices that refer
|
|
to this License; and
|
|
|
|
d. If it is not possible to put the required notices in a particular file
|
|
due to its structure, then You must include the notices in a location (such
|
|
as a relevant directory) where users would be likely to look for it.
|
|
|
|
4.3 Notice for using output (Contents). Creating and Using a Produced Work
|
|
does not require the notice in Section 4.2. However, if you Publicly Use a
|
|
Produced Work, You must include a notice associated with the Produced Work
|
|
reasonably calculated to make any Person that uses, views, accesses, interacts
|
|
with, or is otherwise exposed to the Produced Work aware that Content was
|
|
obtained from the Database, Derivative Database, or the Database as part of
|
|
a Collective Database, and that it is available under this License.
|
|
|
|
a. Example notice. The following text will satisfy notice under Section 4.3:
|
|
|
|
Contains information from DATABASE NAME which is made available under the
|
|
ODC Attribution License.
|
|
|
|
DATABASE NAME should be replaced with the name of the Database and a hyperlink
|
|
to the location of the Database. "ODC Attribution License" should contain
|
|
a hyperlink to the URI of the text of this License. If hyperlinks are not
|
|
possible, You should include the plain text of the required URI's with the
|
|
above notice.
|
|
|
|
4.4 Licensing of others. You may not sublicense the Database. Each time You
|
|
communicate the Database, the whole or Substantial part of the Contents, or
|
|
any Derivative Database to anyone else in any way, the Licensor offers to
|
|
the recipient a license to the Database on the same terms and conditions as
|
|
this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties
|
|
with this License, but You may enforce any rights that You have over a Derivative
|
|
Database. You are solely responsible for any modifications of a Derivative
|
|
Database made by You or another Person at Your direction. You may not impose
|
|
any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed
|
|
under this License.
|
|
|
|
5.0 Moral rights
|
|
|
|
5.1 Moral rights. This section covers moral rights, including any rights to
|
|
be identified as the author of the Database or to object to treatment that
|
|
would otherwise prejudice the author's honour and reputation, or any other
|
|
derogatory treatment:
|
|
|
|
a. For jurisdictions allowing waiver of moral rights, Licensor waives all
|
|
moral rights that Licensor may have in the Database to the fullest extent
|
|
possible by the law of the relevant jurisdiction under Section 10.4;
|
|
|
|
b. If waiver of moral rights under Section 5.1 a in the relevant jurisdiction
|
|
is not possible, Licensor agrees not to assert any moral rights over the Database
|
|
and waives all claims in moral rights to the fullest extent possible by the
|
|
law of the relevant jurisdiction under Section 10.4; and
|
|
|
|
c. For jurisdictions not allowing waiver or an agreement not to assert moral
|
|
rights under Section 5.1 a and b, the author may retain their moral rights
|
|
over certain aspects of the Database.
|
|
|
|
Please note that some jurisdictions do not allow for the waiver of moral rights,
|
|
and so moral rights may still subsist over the Database in some jurisdictions.
|
|
|
|
6.0 Fair dealing, Database exceptions, and other rights not affected
|
|
|
|
6.1 This License does not affect any rights that You or anyone else may independently
|
|
have under any applicable law to make any use of this Database, including
|
|
without limitation:
|
|
|
|
a. Exceptions to the Database Right including: Extraction of Contents from
|
|
non-electronic Databases for private purposes, Extraction for purposes of
|
|
illustration for teaching or scientific research, and Extraction or Re-utilisation
|
|
for public security or an administrative or judicial procedure.
|
|
|
|
b. Fair dealing, fair use, or any other legally recognised limitation or exception
|
|
to infringement of copyright or other applicable laws.
|
|
|
|
6.2 This License does not affect any rights of lawful users to Extract and
|
|
Re-utilise insubstantial parts of the Contents, evaluated quantitatively or
|
|
qualitatively, for any purposes whatsoever, including creating a Derivative
|
|
Database (subject to other rights over the Contents, see Section 2.4). The
|
|
repeated and systematic Extraction or Re-utilisation of insubstantial parts
|
|
of the Contents may however amount to the Extraction or Re-utilisation of
|
|
a Substantial part of the Contents.
|
|
|
|
7.0 Warranties and Disclaimer
|
|
|
|
7.1 The Database is licensed by the Licensor "as is" and without any warranty
|
|
of any kind, either express, implied, or arising by statute, custom, course
|
|
of dealing, or trade usage. Licensor specifically disclaims any and all implied
|
|
warranties or conditions of title, non-infringement, accuracy or completeness,
|
|
the presence or absence of errors, fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability,
|
|
or otherwise. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties,
|
|
so this exclusion may not apply to You.
|
|
|
|
8.0 Limitation of liability
|
|
|
|
8.1 Subject to any liability that may not be excluded or limited by law, the
|
|
Licensor is not liable for, and expressly excludes, all liability for loss
|
|
or damage however and whenever caused to anyone by any use under this License,
|
|
whether by You or by anyone else, and whether caused by any fault on the part
|
|
of the Licensor or not. This exclusion of liability includes, but is not limited
|
|
to, any special, incidental, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages
|
|
such as loss of revenue, data, anticipated profits, and lost business. This
|
|
exclusion applies even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility
|
|
of such damages.
|
|
|
|
8.2 If liability may not be excluded by law, it is limited to actual and direct
|
|
financial loss to the extent it is caused by proved negligence on the part
|
|
of the Licensor.
|
|
|
|
9.0 Termination of Your rights under this License
|
|
|
|
9.1 Any breach by You of the terms and conditions of this License automatically
|
|
terminates this License with immediate effect and without notice to You. For
|
|
the avoidance of doubt, Persons who have received the Database, the whole
|
|
or a Substantial part of the Contents, Derivative Databases, or the Database
|
|
as part of a Collective Database from You under this License will not have
|
|
their licenses terminated provided their use is in full compliance with this
|
|
License or a license granted under Section 4.8 of this License. Sections 1,
|
|
2, 7, 8, 9 and 10 will survive any termination of this License.
|
|
|
|
9.2 If You are not in breach of the terms of this License, the Licensor will
|
|
not terminate Your rights under it.
|
|
|
|
9.3 Unless terminated under Section 9.1, this License is granted to You for
|
|
the duration of applicable rights in the Database.
|
|
|
|
9.4 Reinstatement of rights. If you cease any breach of the terms and conditions
|
|
of this License, then your full rights under this License will be reinstated:
|
|
|
|
a. Provisionally and subject to permanent termination until the 60th day after
|
|
cessation of breach;
|
|
|
|
b. Permanently on the 60th day after cessation of breach unless otherwise
|
|
reasonably notified by the Licensor; or
|
|
|
|
c. Permanently if reasonably notified by the Licensor of the violation, this
|
|
is the first time You have received notice of violation of this License from
|
|
the Licensor, and You cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt
|
|
of the notice.
|
|
|
|
9.5 Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the
|
|
Database under different license terms or to stop distributing or making available
|
|
the Database. Releasing the Database under different license terms or stopping
|
|
the distribution of the Database will not withdraw this License (or any other
|
|
license that has been, or is required to be, granted under the terms of this
|
|
License), and this License will continue in full force and effect unless terminated
|
|
as stated above.
|
|
|
|
10.0 General
|
|
|
|
10.1 If any provision of this License is held to be invalid or unenforceable,
|
|
that must not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the
|
|
terms and conditions of this License and each remaining provision of this
|
|
License shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
|
|
|
|
10.2 This License is the entire agreement between the parties with respect
|
|
to the rights granted here over the Database. It replaces any earlier understandings,
|
|
agreements or representations with respect to the Database.
|
|
|
|
10.3 If You are in breach of the terms of this License, You will not be entitled
|
|
to rely on the terms of this License or to complain of any breach by the Licensor.
|
|
|
|
10.4 Choice of law. This License takes effect in and will be governed by the
|
|
laws of the relevant jurisdiction in which the License terms are sought to
|
|
be enforced. If the standard suite of rights granted under applicable copyright
|
|
law and Database Rights in the relevant jurisdiction includes additional rights
|
|
not granted under this License, these additional rights are granted in this
|
|
License in order to meet the terms of this License.
|
