Our licenses +are irrevocable. Licensors should read and understand the terms and +conditions of the license they choose before applying it. Licensors should +also secure all rights necessary before applying our licenses so that the +public can reuse the material as expected. Licensors should clearly mark +any material not subject to the license. This includes other CC-licensed +material, or material used under an exception or limitation to +copyright. More considerations for licensors : +wiki.creativecommons.org/Considerations_for_licensors + +Considerations for the public: By using one of our public licenses, a +licensor grants the public permission to use the licensed material under +specified terms and conditions. If the licensor's permission is not +necessary for any reason - for example, because of any applicable exception +or limitation to copyright - then that use is not regulated by the +license. Our licenses grant only permissions under copyright and certain +other rights that a licensor has authority to grant. Use of the licensed +material may still be restricted for other reasons, including because +others have copyright or other rights in the material. A licensor may make +special requests, such as asking that all changes be marked or described. + +Although not required by our licenses, you are encouraged to respect those +requests where reasonable.

Adapter's License means the license You apply to Your Copyright and + Similar Rights in Your contributions to Adapted Material in + accordance with the terms and conditions of this Public License. + + c. BY-SA Compatible License means a license listed at + creativecommons.org/compatiblelicenses, approved by Creative Commons + as essentially the equivalent of this Public License. + + d.

Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public + License. + + 3.

You must include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, the + Adapter's License You apply. You may satisfy this condition + in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and + context in which You Share Adapted Material. + + 3.

Where a + limitation of liability is not allowed in full or in part, this + limitation may not apply to You. + + c.

Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under + Section 6(a), it reinstates: + + 1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it + is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or + + 2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor. + + c. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any + right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of + this Public License. + + d.

If the provision + cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License + without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and + conditions. + + c.
