License

THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS CREATIVE
COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("LICENSE"). THE WORK IS PROTECTED BY
COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER THAN AS
AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE IS PROHIBITED.

BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO
BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU THE RIGHTS
CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH TERMS AND
CONDITIONS.

1. Definitions
"Caltrops" means the website located at http://www.caltrops.com and includes all copyrightable material contained thereon.
"Collective Work" means a work in which the Work in its entirety in unmodified
form, along with a number of other contributions, constituting separate and
independent works in themselves, are assembled into a collective whole. A
work that constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative
Work (as defined below) for the purposes of this License.
"Derivative Work" means a work based upon the Work or upon the Work and other pre-existing
works, such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatization,
fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art
reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which the Work
may be recast, transformed, or adapted, except that a work that constitutes
a Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose
of this License.
"Licensor" means the individual or entity that offers the
Work under the terms of this License, and includes any Original Author Posting on Caltrops.
"Original Author" means the individual or entity who created the Work.
"Posting" means submitting content by electronic or physical means, whether with or without any intermediary steps, for display on Caltrops.
"Work" means the copyrightable work of authorship offered under the terms of this License.
"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, and includes any individual who has signified agreement to the terms of this License in relation to content posted to Caltrops.

2. Fair Use Rights. Nothing in this license is intended to reduce, limit,
or restrict any rights arising from fair use, first sale or other
limitations on the exclusive rights of the copyright owner 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: to reproduce the Work, to
incorporate the Work into one or more Collective Works, and to reproduce
the Work as incorporated in the Collective Works; to create and reproduce
Derivative Works; to distribute copies of and display publicly, the Work including as incorporated in Collective Works;
to distribute copies of, display publicly, perform
publicly, and perform publicly by means of a digital audio transmission
Derivative Works;

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. 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: You may distribute,
publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform the Work
only under the terms of this License, and You must include a copy of, or link to
the Uniform Resource Identifier for this License with every copy of the Work You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform,
or publicly digitally perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on the
Work that alter or restrict the terms of this License or the recipients'
exercise of the rights granted hereunder. You may not sublicense the Work.
You must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the
disclaimer of warranties. You may not distribute, publicly display,
publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform the Work with any
technological measures that control access or use of the Work in a manner
inconsistent with the terms of this License Agreement. The above applies to
the Work as incorporated in a Collective Work, but this does not require
the Collective Work apart from the Work itself to be made subject to the
terms of this License. If You create a Collective Work, upon notice from
any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the
Collective Work any reference to such Licensor or the Original Author, as
requested. If You create a Derivative Work, upon notice from any Licensor
You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Derivative Work any
reference to such Licensor or the Original Author, as requested. You may
distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally
perform a Derivative Work only under the terms of this License, and You
must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this
License with every copy of each Derivative Work You
distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally
perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on the Derivative Works that
alter or restrict the terms of this License or the recipients' exercise of
the rights granted hereunder, and You must keep intact all notices that
refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties. You may not
distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally
perform the Derivative Work with any technological measures that control
access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this
License Agreement. The above applies to the Derivative Work as incorporated
in a Collective Work, but this does not require the Collective Work apart
from the Derivative Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this
License. If you distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly
digitally perform the Work or any Derivative Works or Collective Works, You
must keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and give the Original
Author credit reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing by
conveying the name (or pseudonym if applicable) of the Original Author if
supplied; the title of the Work if supplied; in the case of a Derivative
Work, a credit identifying the use of the Work in the Derivative Work
(e.g., "French translation of the Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay
based on original Work by Original Author"). Such credit may be implemented
in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the case of a
Derivative Work or Collective Work, at a minimum such credit will appear
where any other comparable authorship credit appears and in a manner at
least as prominent as such other comparable authorship credit.

5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
By offering the Work for public release under this License, Licensor
represents and warrants that, to the best of Licensor's knowledge after
reasonable inquiry: Licensor has secured all rights in the Work necessary
to grant the license rights hereunder and to permit the lawful exercise of
the rights granted hereunder without You having any obligation to pay any
royalties, compulsory license fees, residuals or any other payments; The
Work does not infringe the copyright, trademark, publicity rights, common
law rights or any other right of any third party or constitute defamation,
invasion of privacy or other tortious injury to any third party. EXCEPT AS
EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS LICENSE OR OTHERWISE AGREED IN WRITING OR REQUIRED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE WORK IS LICENSED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES REGARDING THE CONTENTS OR ACCURACY OF THE WORK.

6. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, AND EXCEPT FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM LIABILITY TO A THIRD PARTY
RESULTING FROM BREACH OF THE WARRANTIES IN SECTION 5, 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 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 Derivative Works or Collective
Works 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. 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 Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform the
Work or a Collective Work, 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. Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform
a Derivative Work, 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. 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. 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.
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.

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, neither party will use 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.
