Espian Source UNLICENSE

In the spirit of contributing to the Public Domain, to the full extent possible under law, the Espian Source Authors ("The Authors"), as specified in the AUTHORS.yaml file, have waived all copyright, patent and related or neighboring rights to their Contributions to Espian Source ("The Work").

This does not apply to works authored by third parties ("Third Party Works") which come with their own copyright and licensing terms. These terms may be defined in explicit files as specified within an optional THIRDPARTY.yaml file or specified as part of the contents of licensed files. We recommend you read them as their terms may differ from the terms below.

With the exception of Third Party Works, all files in this repository are covered by this UNLICENSE. If desired, an informative header like the following could be used to explicitly specify that a file is covered by this UNLICENSE:

// Public Domain (-) 2018-present, The Espian Source Authors.
// See the Espian Source UNLICENSE file for details.

All trademarks and registered trademarks mentioned in The Work are the property of their respective owners.

Statement of Purpose

The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").

Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes.

These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free culture and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their Work in part through the use and efforts of others.

For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the Authors, to the extent that they are an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily elect to apply the UNLICENSE to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its terms, with knowledge of their Copyright and Related Rights in the Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of the UNLICENSE on those rights.

Definitions

The term "distribute" has the same meaning here as under U.S. copyright law. A "Contribution" is the original Work, or any additions or changes to it.

A Work made available under the UNLICENSE may be protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, communicate, and translate a Work;

  2. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);

  3. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or likeness depicted in a Work;

  4. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work, subject to the Limitations and Disclaimers, below;

  5. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data in a Work;

  6. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the 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

  7. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national implementations thereof.

Waiver

To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention of, applicable law, the Authors hereby overtly, fully, permanently, irrevocably and unconditionally waive, abandon, and surrender all of their 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").

The Authors make the Waiver for the benefit of each member of the public at large and to the detriment of their 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 the Authors' express Statement of Purpose.

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 the Authors' express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the extent the Waiver is so judged the Authors hereby grant to each affected person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise the Authors' 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 "Public License").

The Public License shall be deemed effective as of the date the UNLICENSE was first applied to the Work. Should any part of the Public 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 Public License, and in such case the Authors hereby affirm that they will not (i) exercise any of their 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 their express Statement of Purpose.

Grant of Patent Rights

The Authors hereby grant to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, transfer and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of this Work, where such license applies only to those patent claims, both currently owned or controlled by any of the Authors and acquired in the future, licensable by any of the Authors that are necessarily infringed by this Work.

This grant does not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of this implementation. If you or your agent or exclusive licensee institute or order or agree to the institution of patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that this Work or any Contribution incorporated within this Work constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, or inducement of patent infringement, then any patent rights granted to you under this Grant of Patent Rights for the Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

Limitations and Disclaimers

  1. No trademark rights held by any of the Authors are waived, abandoned, surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.

  2. The Authors offer 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, 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.

    In no event shall the Authors be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, procurement of substitute goods or services; loss of use, data, or profits; or business interruption) however caused and on any theory of liability, whether in contract, strict liability, or tort (including negligence or otherwise) arising in any way out of the use of the Work, even if advised of the possibility of such damage.

  3. The Authors disclaim 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, the Authors disclaim responsibility for obtaining any necessary consents, permissions or other rights required for any use of the Work.
