							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
							 |

							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not

								iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or

								     likeness depicted in a Work;

							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								     subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								  v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data
							 | 
						
					
						
							|

							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								     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
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 |

							 | 
							
							
								vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the
							 |

							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								     implementations thereof.

								2. Waiver. 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.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								3. Public License Fallback. 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.
							 |

							 | 
							
							
								4. Limitations and Disclaimers.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 |

							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								 a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,

							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 |

								 b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or

							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								    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.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								 c. 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
