 LICENCE

 THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS
 COPYFARLEFT PUBLIC LICENSE (“LICENSE”). THE WORK IS PROTECTED BY
 COPYRIGHT AND ALL OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS. 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 IN THIS
 LICENSE, YOU 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 AS CONSIDERATION FOR ACCEPTING
 THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LICENSE AND FOR AGREEING TO BE BOUND
 BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LICENSE.  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 above) for the purposes of this
 License.

 c – “Distribute” means to make available to the public the original
 and copies of the Work or Adaptation, as appropriate, through sale,
 gift or any other transfer of possession or ownership.

 d – “Licensor” means the individual, individuals, entity or entities
 that offer(s) the Work under the terms of this License.

 e – “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.

 f – “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.

 g – “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.

 h – “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.

 i – “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. 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, including but not
 limited to the rights set forth in Section 4(f).  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(d), 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(d), as requested.

 b – Subject to the exception in Section 4(c), you may not exercise any
 of the rights granted to You in Section 3 above in any manner that is
 primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or
 private monetary compensation. The exchange of the Work for other
 copyrighted works by means of digital file-sharing or otherwise shall
 not be considered to be intended for or directed toward commercial
 advantage or private monetary compensation, provided there is no
 payment of any monetary compensation in connection with the exchange
 of copyrighted works.

 c – You may exercise the rights granted in Section 3 for commercial
 purposes only if:

     i – You are a worker-owned business or worker-owned collective;
     and

     ii – all financial gain, surplus, profits and benefits produced
     by the business or collective are distributed among the
     worker-owners

 d – Any use by a business that is privately owned and managed, and
 that seeks to generate profit from the labor of employees paid by
 salary or other wages, is not permitted under this license.

 e – 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 Section 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(d) 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.

 f – 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 reserves
     the exclusive right to collect such royalties for any exercise by
     You of the rights granted under this License if Your exercise of
     such rights is for a purpose or use which is otherwise than
     noncommercial as permitted under Section 4(b) and otherwise
     waives the right to collect royalties through any statutory or
     compulsory licensing scheme; and,

     iii – Voluntary License Schemes. The Licensor reserves 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 that is for a
     purpose or use which is otherwise than noncommercial as permitted
     under Section 4(b).

 g – 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.
