Rights and Permissions

You are free to:

• Use and reproduce the work for your own purposes
• Modify the work and adapt it into your own projects
• Distribute the work and share it with others

Your freedoms under this license apply to all copyright and patents that vest in the work. You must still ensure that you do not infringe any:

• Trade-marks
• Neighbouring rights (rights in a sound recording or performance)
• Prohibitions against circumvention of technical protection measures

Obligations

You must:

• Retain the original copyright notices and disclaimers to inform downstream users of the license conditions which apply to the original work
• Provide the work in a modifiable form that others can easily edit and add to (for example, you must provide the source code of any software program)
• Share your modifications with others under the exact same license as the original work (for further details, see Share-alike / Copyleft below)

Copyleft / Share-alike

You may use the work and modify it without sharing your changes, but only if these activities are for your own personal use. To promote a community of open sharing, you must, however, share your changes with others under the original licence terms when you:

• Distribute or publicly communicate your modified version to anyone else, whether for free or for profit

This is a weak copyleft clause. The copyleft obligation applies to:

• Any individual files from the original that you modify (and any of your files that include portions of the original work)

but does NOT apply to:

• Any individual files that you author entirely yourself
• Any compilation or larger project, as long as it merely includes the whole of the unchanged original work

Disclaimers

The licensor makes no guarantee to you as to:

• The quality of the work. Keep in mind that the work may contain inaccuracies and errors. It may be entirely unsuitable for your purpose.
• The clearance of rights. It is possible that the licensor might not actually own all of the rights that the license claims to grant. If this is the case, you could inadvertently infringe the copyright of a third party -- and you will bear the full responsibility of this infringement.

The license also contains a general disclaimer of liability. In most cases, you cannot sue the licensor, even if you suffer injuries or financial harm due to errors, inaccuracies, or faults on the part of the licensor.

Termination

Your right to use the work terminates automatically if you breach any of the terms of the licence.

However, if you promptly remedy a breach of the licence terms after the mistake comes to your attention, your right to use the work is automatically re-instated.

Licence Versioning

Even if the licensor releases a new version of the licence with different terms, you may continue with any present use of the work under the original terms.

However, if you retrieve an updated copy of the work, it will then come under the terms of the new license.

Choice of Law / Choice of Forum

If a legal dispute arises between you and the licensor, a court at the specific location named in the license (usually within the jurisdiction of the original licensor) must hear the dispute. If this differs from your own location, a lawsuit could be more costly for you to pursue or defend.

To resolve any legal disputes, courts will interpret the licence based on the laws in force at the specific location named in the licence.
