+    CREATIVE COMMONS CORPORATION IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL 
+    SERVICES. DISTRIBUTION OF THIS LICENSE DOES NOT CREATE AN ATTORNEY-CLIENT 
+    RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" 
+    BASIS. CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES REGARDING THE INFORMATION 
+    PROVIDED, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ITS USE. 
+
+License
+
+THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS CREATIVE 
+COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS PROTECTED BY 
+COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER THAN AS 
+AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS PROHIBITED.
+
+BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE 
+BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. TO THE EXTENT THIS LICENSE MAY BE 
+CONSIDERED TO BE A CONTRACT, THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU THE RIGHTS CONTAINED HERE 
+IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
+
+1. Definitions
+
+ a. "Adaptation" means a work based upon the Work, or upon the Work and other 
+    pre-existing works, such as a translation, adaptation, derivative work, 
+    arrangement of music or other alterations of a literary or artistic work, 
+    or phonogram or performance and includes cinematographic adaptations or any 
+    other form in which the Work may be recast, transformed, or adapted 
+    including in any form recognizably derived from the original, except that 
+    a work that constitutes a Collection will not be considered an Adaptation 
+    for the purpose of this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work 
+    is a musical work, performance or phonogram, the synchronization of the 
+    Work in timed-relation with a moving image ("synching") will be considered 
+    an Adaptation for the purpose of this License.
+ b. "Collection" means a collection of literary or artistic works, such as 
+    encyclopedias and anthologies, or performances, phonograms or broadcasts, 
+    or other works or subject matter other than works listed in Section 1(f) 
+    below, which, by reason of the selection and 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.
+ c. "Creative Commons Compatible License" means a license that is listed at 
+    http://creativecommons.org/compatiblelicenses that has been approved by 
+    Creative Commons as being essentially equivalent to this 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 of adaptations of 
+    works made available under that license under this License or a Creative 
+    Commons jurisdiction license with the same License Elements as this License.
+ d. "Distribute" means to make available to the public the original and copies 
+    of the Work or Adaptation, as appropriate, through sale or other transfer 
+    of ownership.
+ e. "License Elements" means the following high-level license attributes as 
+    selected by Licensor and indicated in the title of this License: 
+    Attribution, ShareAlike.
+ f. "Licensor" means the individual, individuals, entity or entities that 
+    offer(s) the Work under the terms of this License.
+ g. "Original Author" means, in the case of a literary or artistic work, the 
+    individual, individuals, entity or entities who created the Work or if no 
+    individual or entity can be identified, the publisher; and in addition (i) 
+    in the case of a performance the actors, singers, musicians, dancers, and 
+    other persons who act, sing, deliver, declaim, play in, interpret or 
+    otherwise perform literary or artistic works or expressions of folklore; 
+    (ii) in the case of a phonogram the producer being the person or legal 
+    entity who first fixes the sounds of a performance or other sounds; and, 
+    (iii) in the case of broadcasts, the organization that transmits the 
+    broadcast.
+ h. "Work" means the literary and/or artistic work offered under the terms of 
+    this License including without limitation any production in the literary, 
+    scientific and artistic domain, whatever may be the mode or form of its 
+    expression including digital form, such as a book, 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 expressed by a process analogous to photography; a work 
+    of applied art; an illustration, map, plan, sketch or three-dimensional 
+    work relative to geography, topography, architecture or science; a 
+    performance; a broadcast; a phonogram; a compilation of data to the 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 to 
+    communicate to the public those public recitations, by any means or 
+    process, including by wire or wireless means or public digital 
+    performances; to make available to the public Works in such a way that 
+    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 by any means 
+    or process and the communication to the public of the performances of the 
+    Work, including by public digital performance; to broadcast and rebroadcast 
+    the Work by any means including signs, sounds or images.
+ k. "Reproduce" means to make copies of the Work by any means including without 
+    limitation by sound or visual recordings and the right of fixation and 
+    reproducing fixations of the Work, including storage of a protected 
+    performance or phonogram in digital form or other electronic 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.
+
+    Creative Commons Notice
+
+Creative Commons is not a party to this License, and makes no warranty 
+whatsoever in connection with the Work. Creative Commons will not be liable to 
+You or any party on any legal theory for any damages whatsoever, including 
+without limitation any general, special, incidental or consequential damages 
+arising in connection to this license. Notwithstanding the foregoing two (2) 
+sentences, if Creative Commons has expressly identified itself as the Licensor 
+hereunder, it shall have all rights and obligations of Licensor.
+
+Except for the limited purpose of indicating to the public that the Work is 
+licensed under the CCPL, Creative Commons does not authorize the use by either 
+party of the trademark "Creative Commons" or any related trademark or logo of 
+Creative Commons without the prior written consent of Creative Commons. Any 
+permitted use will be in compliance with Creative Commons' then-current 
+trademark usage guidelines, as may be published on its website or otherwise 
+made available upon request from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, this 
+trademark restriction does not form part of the License.
