+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

+     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

-    arrangement of their contents, constitute intellectual creations, in
-    which the Work is included in its entirety in unmodified form along
-    with one or more other contributions, each constituting separate and
-    independent works in themselves, which together are assembled into a
-    collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collection will not be
-    considered an Adaptation (as defined below) for the purposes of this
-    License.

-    License, including, at a minimum, because that license: (i) contains
-    terms that have the same purpose, meaning and effect as the License
-    Elements of this License; and, (ii) explicitly permits the relicensing

-    License or a Creative Commons jurisdiction license with the same

-    pamphlet and other writing; a lecture, address, sermon or other work
-    of the same nature; a dramatic or dramatico-musical work; a
-    choreographic work or entertainment in dumb show; a musical
-    composition with or without words; a cinematographic work to which are
-    assimilated works expressed by a process analogous to cinematography;
-    a work of drawing, painting, architecture, sculpture, engraving or
-    lithography; a photographic work to which are assimilated works

-    extent it is protected as a copyrightable work; or a work performed by
-    a variety or circus performer to the extent it is not otherwise
-    considered a literary or artistic work.
- i. "You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this
-    License who has not previously violated the terms of this License with
-    respect to the Work, or who has received express permission from the
-    Licensor to exercise rights under this License despite a previous
-    violation.
- j. "Publicly Perform" means to perform public recitations of the Work and

-    members of the public may access these Works from a place and at a
-    place individually chosen by them; to perform the Work to the public

-    medium.
-
-2. Fair Dealing Rights. Nothing in this License is intended to reduce,
-limit, or restrict any uses free from copyright or rights arising from
-limitations or exceptions that are provided for in connection with the
-copyright protection under copyright law or other applicable laws.
-
-3. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License,
-Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
-perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license to
-exercise the rights in the Work as stated below:
-
- a. to Reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more
-    Collections, and to Reproduce the Work as incorporated in the
-    Collections;
- b. to create and Reproduce Adaptations provided that any such Adaptation,
-    including any translation in any medium, takes reasonable steps to
-    clearly label, demarcate or otherwise identify that changes were made
-    to the original Work. For example, a translation could be marked "The
-    original work was translated from English to Spanish," or a
-    modification could indicate "The original work has been modified.";
- c. to Distribute and Publicly Perform the Work including as incorporated
-    in Collections; and,
- d. to Distribute and Publicly Perform Adaptations.
- e. For the avoidance of doubt:
-
-     i. 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;
-    ii. 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,
-   iii. 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.
-
-The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now
-known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make
-such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in
-other media and formats. Subject to Section 8(f), all rights not expressly
-granted by Licensor are hereby reserved.
-
-4. Restrictions. The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made
-subject to and limited by the following restrictions:
-
- a. You may Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work only under the terms
-    of this License. You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource
-    Identifier (URI) for, this License with every copy of the Work You
-    Distribute or Publicly Perform. You may not offer or impose any terms
-    on the Work that restrict the terms of this License or the ability of
-    the recipient of the Work to exercise the rights granted to that
-    recipient under the terms of the License. You may not sublicense the
-    Work. You must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and
-    to the disclaimer of warranties with every copy of the Work You
-    Distribute or Publicly Perform. When You Distribute or Publicly
-    Perform the Work, You may not impose any effective technological
-    measures on the Work that restrict the ability of a recipient of the
-    Work from You to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under
-    the terms of the License. This Section 4(a) applies to the Work as
-    incorporated in a Collection, but this does not require the Collection
-    apart from the Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this
-    License. If You create a Collection, upon notice from any Licensor You
-    must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Collection any credit
-    as required by Section 4(c), as requested. If You create an
-    Adaptation, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent
-    practicable, remove from the Adaptation any credit as required by
-    Section 4(c), as requested.
- b. You may Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation only under the
-    terms of: (i) this License; (ii) a later version of this License with
-    the same License Elements as this License; (iii) a Creative Commons
-    jurisdiction license (either this or a later license version) that
-    contains the same License Elements as this License (e.g.,
-    Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 US)); (iv) a Creative Commons Compatible
-    License. If you license the Adaptation under one of the licenses
-    mentioned in (iv), you must comply with the terms of that license. If
-    you license the Adaptation under the terms of any of the licenses
-    mentioned in (i), (ii) or (iii) (the "Applicable License"), you must
-    comply with the terms of the Applicable License generally and the
-    following provisions: (I) You must include a copy of, or the URI for,
-    the Applicable License with every copy of each Adaptation You
-    Distribute or Publicly Perform; (II) You may not offer or impose any
-    terms on the Adaptation that restrict the terms of the Applicable
-    License or the ability of the recipient of the Adaptation to exercise
-    the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the Applicable
-    License; (III) You must keep intact all notices that refer to the
-    Applicable License and to the disclaimer of warranties with every copy
-    of the Work as included in the Adaptation You Distribute or Publicly
-    Perform; (IV) when You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Adaptation,
-    You may not impose any effective technological measures on the
-    Adaptation that restrict the ability of a recipient of the Adaptation
-    from You to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the
-    terms of the Applicable License. This Section 4(b) applies to the
-    Adaptation as incorporated in a Collection, but this does not require
-    the Collection apart from the Adaptation itself to be made subject to
-    the terms of the Applicable License.
- c. If You Distribute, or Publicly Perform the Work or any Adaptations or
-    Collections, You must, unless a request has been made pursuant to
-    Section 4(a), keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and
-    provide, reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing: (i) the
-    name of the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied,
-    and/or if the Original Author and/or Licensor designate another party
-    or parties (e.g., a sponsor institute, publishing entity, journal) for
-    attribution ("Attribution Parties") in Licensor's copyright notice,
-    terms of service or by other reasonable means, the name of such party
-    or parties; (ii) the title of the Work if supplied; (iii) to the
-    extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor
-    specifies to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not
-    refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for the Work;
-    and (iv) , consistent with Ssection 3(b), in the case of an
-    Adaptation, a credit identifying the use of the Work in the Adaptation
-    (e.g., "French translation of the Work by Original Author," or
-    "Screenplay based on original Work by Original Author"). The credit
-    required by this Section 4(c) may be implemented in any reasonable
-    manner; provided, however, that in the case of a Adaptation or
-    Collection, at a minimum such credit will appear, if a credit for all
-    contributing authors of the Adaptation or Collection appears, then as
-    part of these credits and in a manner at least as prominent as the
-    credits for the other contributing authors. For the avoidance of
-    doubt, You may only use the credit required by this Section for the
-    purpose of attribution in the manner set out above and, by exercising
-    Your rights under this License, You may not implicitly or explicitly
-    assert or imply any connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by the
-    Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties, as appropriate,
-    of You or Your use of the Work, without the separate, express prior
-    written permission of the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution
-    Parties.
- d. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Licensor or as may be
-    otherwise permitted by applicable law, if You Reproduce, Distribute or
-    Publicly Perform the Work either by itself or as part of any
-    Adaptations or Collections, You must not distort, mutilate, modify or
-    take other derogatory action in relation to the Work which would be
-    prejudicial to the Original Author's honor or reputation. Licensor
-    agrees that in those jurisdictions (e.g. Japan), in which any exercise
-    of the right granted in Section 3(b) of this License (the right to
-    make Adaptations) would be deemed to be a distortion, mutilation,
-    modification or other derogatory action prejudicial to the Original
-    Author's honor and reputation, the Licensor will waive or not assert,
-    as appropriate, this Section, to the fullest extent permitted by the
-    applicable national law, to enable You to reasonably exercise Your
-    right under Section 3(b) of this License (right to make Adaptations)
-    but not otherwise.
-
-5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
-
-UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR
-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, MERCHANTIBILITY,
-FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF
-LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS,
-WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION
-OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
-
-6. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE
-LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR
-ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES
-ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS
-BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
-
-7. Termination
-
- a. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
-    automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License.
-    Individuals or entities who have received Adaptations or Collections
-    from You under this License, however, will not have their licenses
-    terminated provided such individuals or entities remain in full
-    compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will
-    survive any termination of this License.
- b. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here is
-    perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work).
-    Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the
-    Work under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at
-    any time; provided, however that any such election will not serve to
-    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.
-
-8. Miscellaneous
-
- a. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work or a Collection,
-    the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same
-    terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
- b. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation, Licensor
-    offers to the recipient a license to the original Work on the same
-    terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
- c. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under
-    applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
-    the remainder of the terms of this License, and without further action
-    by the parties to this agreement, such provision shall be reformed to
-    the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and
-    enforceable.
- d. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no
-    breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing
-    and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.
- e. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with
-    respect to the Work licensed here. There are no understandings,
-    agreements or representations with respect to the Work not specified
-    here. Licensor shall not be bound by any additional provisions that
-    may appear in any communication from You. This License may not be
-    modified without the mutual written agreement of the Licensor and You.
- f. The rights granted under, and the subject matter referenced, in this
-    License were drafted utilizing the terminology of the Berne Convention
-    for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (as amended on
-    September 28, 1979), the Rome Convention of 1961, the WIPO Copyright
-    Treaty of 1996, the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty of 1996
-    and the Universal Copyright Convention (as revised on July 24, 1971).
-    These rights and subject matter take effect in the relevant
-    jurisdiction in which the License terms are sought to be enforced
-    according to the corresponding provisions of the implementation of
-    those treaty provisions in the applicable national law. If the
-    standard suite of rights granted under applicable copyright law
-    includes additional rights not granted under this License, such
-    additional rights are deemed to be included in the License; this
-    License is not intended to restrict the license of any rights under
-    applicable law.

+  i. 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.
+
+  j. Licensor means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights
+     under this Public License.
+
+  k. Share means to provide material to the public by any means or
+     process that requires permission under the Licensed Rights, such

+     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.
+
+  l. 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.
+
+  m. 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. Additional offer from the Licensor -- Adapted Material.
+               Every recipient of Adapted Material from You
+               automatically receives an offer from the Licensor to
+               exercise the Licensed Rights in the Adapted Material
+               under the conditions of the Adapter's License You apply.
+
+            c. 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.
+
+  b. ShareAlike.
+
+     In addition to the conditions in Section 3(a), if You Share
+     Adapted Material You produce, the following conditions also apply.
+
+       1. The Adapter's License You apply must be a Creative Commons
+          license with the same License Elements, this version or
+          later, or a BY-SA Compatible License.
+
+       2. You must include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, the
+          Adapter's License You apply. You may satisfy this condition
+          in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and
+          context in which You Share Adapted Material.
+
+       3. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms
+          or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological
+          Measures to, Adapted Material that restrict exercise of the
+          rights granted under the Adapter's License You apply.
+
+
+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,
+     including for purposes of Section 3(b); 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 CONCERNING 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.
