ODC Open Database License (ODbL) Preamble
|
|
|
|
The Open Database License (ODbL) is a license agreement intended to allow
|
|
users to freely share, modify, and use this Database while maintaining this
|
|
same freedom for others. Many databases are covered by copyright, and therefore
|
|
this document licenses these rights. Some jurisdictions, mainly in the European
|
|
Union, have specific rights that cover databases, and so the ODbL addresses
|
|
these rights, too. Finally, the ODbL is also an agreement in contract for
|
|
users of this Database to act in certain ways in return for accessing this
|
|
Database.
|
|
|
|
Databases can contain a wide variety of types of content (images, audiovisual
|
|
material, and sounds all in the same database, for example), and so the ODbL
|
|
only governs the rights over the Database, and not the contents of the Database
|
|
individually. Licensors should use the ODbL together with another license
|
|
for the contents, if the contents have a single set of rights that uniformly
|
|
covers all of the contents. If the contents have multiple sets of different
|
|
rights, Licensors should describe what rights govern what contents together
|
|
in the individual record or in some other way that clarifies what rights apply.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes the contents of a database, or the database itself, can be covered
|
|
by other rights not addressed here (such as private contracts, trade mark
|
|
over the name, or privacy rights / data protection rights over information
|
|
in the contents), and so you are advised that you may have to consult other
|
|
documents or clear other rights before doing activities not covered by this
|
|
License.
|
|

|
|
The Licensor (as defined below)
|
|
|
|
and

You (as defined below)
|
|
|

agree as follows:
|
|

1.0 Definitions of Capitalised Words
|
|
|
|
"Collective Database" - Means this Database in unmodified form as part of
|
|
a collection of independent databases in themselves that together are assembled
|
|

"Convey" - As a verb, means Using the Database, a Derivative Database, or
|
|
the Database as part of a Collective Database in any way that enables a Person
|
|
to make or receive copies of the Database or a Derivative Database. Conveying
|
|
does not include interaction with a user through a computer network, or creating
|
|
and Using a Produced Work, where no transfer of a copy of the Database or
|
|
a Derivative Database occurs.
|
|
|
|
"Contents" - The contents of this Database, which includes the information,
|
|
independent works, or other material collected into the Database. For example,
|
|
the contents of the Database could be factual data or works such as images,
|
|
audiovisual material, text, or sounds.
|
|
|
|
"Database" - A collection of material (the Contents) arranged in a systematic
|
|
or methodical way and individually accessible by electronic or other means
|
|
offered under the terms of this License.

|
|
as amended or succeeded.
|
|
|
|
"Database Right" - Means rights resulting from the Chapter III ("sui generis")
|
|
rights in the Database Directive (as amended and as transposed by member states),

|
part of the Contents, as well as any similar rights available in the relevant
|
|
jurisdiction under Section 10.4.
|
|
|
|
"Derivative Database" - Means a database based upon the Database, and includes
|
|
any translation, adaptation, arrangement, modification, or any other alteration
|

|
is not limited to, Extracting or Re-utilising the whole or a Substantial part
|
|
of the Contents in a new Database.
|
|
|
|
"Extraction" - Means the permanent or temporary transfer of all or a Substantial
|
|
part of the Contents to another medium by any means or in any form.
|

|
|
this License.

|
this Database as part of a Collective Database.
|
|
|
|
"Publicly" - means to Persons other than You or under Your control by either

|
|
"Re-utilisation" - means any form of making available to the public all or
|
|
a Substantial part of the Contents by the distribution of copies, by renting,
|
|
by online or other forms of transmission.

|
|
|
"Substantial" - Means substantial in terms of quantity or quality or a combination
|
|
of both. The repeated and systematic Extraction or Re-utilisation of insubstantial
|
|
parts of the Contents may amount to the Extraction or Re-utilisation of a
|
|
Substantial part of the Contents.
|
|
|
|
"Use" - As a verb, means doing any act that is restricted by copyright or
|
|
Database Rights whether in the original medium or any other; and includes

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
2.0 What this License covers
|
|
|
|
2.1. Legal effect of this document. This License is:
|
|
|
|
a. A license of applicable copyright and neighbouring rights;
|
|
|
|
b. A license of the Database Right; and
|
|
|
|
c. An agreement in contract between You and the Licensor.
|
|
|
|
2.2 Legal rights covered. This License covers the legal rights in the Database,
|
|
including:
|
|
|
|
a. Copyright. Any copyright or neighbouring rights in the Database. The copyright
|
|
licensed includes any individual elements of the Database, but does not cover
|
|
the copyright over the Contents independent of this Database. See Section
|
|
2.4 for details. Copyright law varies between jurisdictions, but is likely
|
|
to cover: the Database model or schema, which is the structure, arrangement,
|
|
and organisation of the Database, and can also include the Database tables
|
|
and table indexes; the data entry and output sheets; and the Field names of
|
|
Contents stored in the Database;
|
|
|
|
b. Database Rights. Database Rights only extend to the Extraction and Re-utilisation
|
|
of the whole or a Substantial part of the Contents. Database Rights can apply
|
|
even when there is no copyright over the Database. Database Rights can also
|
|
apply when the Contents are removed from the Database and are selected and
|
|
arranged in a way that would not infringe any applicable copyright; and
|
|
|
|
c. Contract. This is an agreement between You and the Licensor for access
|
|
to the Database. In return you agree to certain conditions of use on this
|
|
access as outlined in this License.
|
|
|
|
2.3 Rights not covered.
|
|
|
|
a. This License does not apply to computer programs used in the making or
|
|
operation of the Database;
|
|
|
|
b. This License does not cover any patents over the Contents or the Database;
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
c. This License does not cover any trademarks associated with the Database.
|
|
|
|
2.4 Relationship to Contents in the Database. The individual items of the
|
|
Contents contained in this Database may be covered by other rights, including
|
|
copyright, patent, data protection, privacy, or personality rights, and this
|
|
License does not cover any rights (other than Database Rights or in contract)
|
|
in individual Contents contained in the Database. For example, if used on
|
|
a Database of images (the Contents), this License would not apply to copyright
|
|
over individual images, which could have their own separate licenses, or one
|
|
single license covering all of the rights over the images.
|
|
|
|
3.0 Rights granted
|
|
|
|
3.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, the Licensor grants
|
|
to You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, terminable (but only under
|
|
Section 9) license to Use the Database for the duration of any applicable
|
|
copyright and Database Rights. These rights explicitly include commercial
|
|
use, and do not exclude any field of endeavour. To the extent possible in
|
|
the relevant jurisdiction, these rights may be exercised in all media and
|
|
formats whether now known or created in the future.
|
|
|
|
The rights granted cover, for example:
|
|
|
|
a. Extraction and Re-utilisation of the whole or a Substantial part of the
|
|
Contents;
|
|
|
|
b. Creation of Derivative Databases;
|
|
|
|
c. Creation of Collective Databases;
|
|
|
|
d. Creation of temporary or permanent reproductions by any means and in any
|
|
form, in whole or in part, including of any Derivative Databases or as a part
|
|
of Collective Databases; and
|
|
|
|
e. Distribution, communication, display, lending, making available, or performance
|
|
to the public by any means and in any form, in whole or in part, including
|
|
of any Derivative Database or as a part of Collective Databases.
|
|
|
|
3.2 Compulsory license schemes. For the avoidance of doubt:
|
|
|
|
a. Non-waivable compulsory license schemes. In those jurisdictions in which
|
|
the right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory licensing
|
|
scheme cannot be waived, the Licensor reserves the exclusive right to collect
|
|
such royalties for any exercise by You of the rights granted under this License;
|
|
|
|
b. Waivable compulsory license schemes. In those jurisdictions in which the
|
|
right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory licensing scheme
|
|
can be waived, the Licensor waives the exclusive right to collect such royalties
|
|
for any exercise by You of the rights granted under this License; and,
|
|
|
|
c. Voluntary license schemes. The Licensor waives the right to collect royalties,
|
|
whether individually or, in the event that the Licensor is a member of a collecting
|
|
society that administers voluntary licensing schemes, via that society, from
|
|
any exercise by You of the rights granted under this License.
|
|
|
|
3.3 The right to release the Database under different terms, or to stop distributing
|
|
or making available the Database, is reserved. Note that this Database may
|
|
be multiple-licensed, and so You may have the choice of using alternative
|
|
licenses for this Database. Subject to Section 10.4, all other rights not
|
|
expressly granted by Licensor are reserved.
|
|
|
|
4.0 Conditions of Use
|
|
|
|
4.1 The rights granted in Section 3 above are expressly made subject to Your
|
|
complying with the following conditions of use. These are important conditions
|
|
of this License, and if You fail to follow them, You will be in material breach
|
|
of its terms.
|
|
|
|
4.2 Notices. If You Publicly Convey this Database, any Derivative Database,
|
|
or the Database as part of a Collective Database, then You must:
|
|
|
|
a. Do so only under the terms of this License or another license permitted
|
|
under Section 4.4;
|
|
|
|
b. Include a copy of this License (or, as applicable, a license permitted
|
|
under Section 4.4) or its Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) with the Database
|
|
or Derivative Database, including both in the Database or Derivative Database
|
|
and in any relevant documentation; and
|
|
|
|
c. Keep intact any copyright or Database Right notices and notices that refer
|
|
to this License.
|
|
|
|
d. If it is not possible to put the required notices in a particular file
|
|
due to its structure, then You must include the notices in a location (such
|
|
as a relevant directory) where users would be likely to look for it.
|
|
|
|
4.3 Notice for using output (Contents). Creating and Using a Produced Work
|
|
does not require the notice in Section 4.2. However, if you Publicly Use a
|
|
Produced Work, You must include a notice associated with the Produced Work
|
|
reasonably calculated to make any Person that uses, views, accesses, interacts
|
|
with, or is otherwise exposed to the Produced Work aware that Content was
|
|
obtained from the Database, Derivative Database, or the Database as part of
|
|
a Collective Database, and that it is available under this License.
|
|
|
|
a. Example notice. The following text will satisfy notice under Section 4.3:
|
|
|
|
Contains information from DATABASE NAME, which is made available here under
|
|
the Open Database License (ODbL).
|
|
|
|
DATABASE NAME should be replaced with the name of the Database and a hyperlink
|
|
to the URI of the Database. "Open Database License" should contain a hyperlink
|
|
to the URI of the text of this License. If hyperlinks are not possible, You
|
|
should include the plain text of the required URI's with the above notice.
|
|
|
|
4.4 Share alike.
|
|
|
|
a. Any Derivative Database that You Publicly Use must be only under the terms
|
|
of:
|
|
|
|
i. This License;
|
|
|
|
ii. A later version of this License similar in spirit to this License; or
|
|
|
|
iii. A compatible license.
|
|
|
|
If You license the Derivative Database under one of the licenses mentioned
|
|
in (iii), You must comply with the terms of that license.
|
|
|
|
b. For the avoidance of doubt, Extraction or Re-utilisation of the whole or
|
|
a Substantial part of the Contents into a new database is a Derivative Database
|
|
and must comply with Section 4.4.
|
|
|
|
c. Derivative Databases and Produced Works. A Derivative Database is Publicly
|
|
Used and so must comply with Section 4.4. if a Produced Work created from
|
|
the Derivative Database is Publicly Used.
|
|
|
|
d. Share Alike and additional Contents. For the avoidance of doubt, You must
|
|
not add Contents to Derivative Databases under Section 4.4 a that are incompatible
|
|
with the rights granted under this License.
|
|
|
|
e. Compatible licenses. Licensors may authorise a proxy to determine compatible
|
|
licenses under Section 4.4 a iii. If they do so, the authorised proxy's public
|
|
statement of acceptance of a compatible license grants You permission to use
|
|
the compatible license.
|
|
|
|
4.5 Limits of Share Alike. The requirements of Section 4.4 do not apply in
|
|
the following:
|
|
|
|
a. For the avoidance of doubt, You are not required to license Collective
|
|
Databases under this License if You incorporate this Database or a Derivative
|
|
Database in the collection, but this License still applies to this Database
|
|
or a Derivative Database as a part of the Collective Database;
|
|
|
|
b. Using this Database, a Derivative Database, or this Database as part of
|
|
a Collective Database to create a Produced Work does not create a Derivative
|
|
Database for purposes of Section 4.4; and
|
|
|
|
c. Use of a Derivative Database internally within an organisation is not to
|
|
the public and therefore does not fall under the requirements of Section 4.4.
|
|
|
|
4.6 Access to Derivative Databases. If You Publicly Use a Derivative Database
|
|
or a Produced Work from a Derivative Database, You must also offer to recipients
|
|
of the Derivative Database or Produced Work a copy in a machine readable form
|
|
of:
|
|
|
|
a. The entire Derivative Database; or
|
|
|
|
b. A file containing all of the alterations made to the Database or the method
|
|
of making the alterations to the Database (such as an algorithm), including
|
|
any additional Contents, that make up all the differences between the Database
|
|
and the Derivative Database.
|
|
|
|
The Derivative Database (under a.) or alteration file (under b.) must be available
|
|
at no more than a reasonable production cost for physical distributions and
|
|
free of charge if distributed over the internet.
|
|
|
|
4.7 Technological measures and additional terms
|
|
|
|
a. This License does not allow You to impose (except subject to Section 4.7
|
|
b.) any terms or any technological measures on the Database, a Derivative
|
|
Database, or the whole or a Substantial part of the Contents that alter or
|
|
restrict the terms of this License, or any rights granted under it, or have
|
|
the effect or intent of restricting the ability of any person to exercise
|
|
those rights.
|
|
|
|
b. Parallel distribution. You may impose terms or technological measures on
|
|
the Database, a Derivative Database, or the whole or a Substantial part of
|
|
the Contents (a "Restricted Database") in contravention of Section 4.74 a.
|
|
only if You also make a copy of the Database or a Derivative Database available
|
|
to the recipient of the Restricted Database:
|
|
|
|
i. That is available without additional fee;
|
|
|
|
ii. That is available in a medium that does not alter or restrict the terms
|
|
of this License, or any rights granted under it, or have the effect or intent
|
|
of restricting the ability of any person to exercise those rights (an "Unrestricted
|
|
Database"); and
|
|
|
|
iii. The Unrestricted Database is at least as accessible to the recipient
|
|
as a practical matter as the Restricted Database.
|
|
|
|
c. For the avoidance of doubt, You may place this Database or a Derivative
|
|
Database in an authenticated environment, behind a password, or within a similar
|
|
access control scheme provided that You do not alter or restrict the terms
|
|
of this License or any rights granted under it or have the effect or intent
|
|
of restricting the ability of any person to exercise those rights.
|
|
|
|
4.8 Licensing of others. You may not sublicense the Database. Each time You
|
|
communicate the Database, the whole or Substantial part of the Contents, or
|
|
any Derivative Database to anyone else in any way, the Licensor offers to
|
|
the recipient a license to the Database on the same terms and conditions as
|
|
this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties
|
|
with this License, but You may enforce any rights that You have over a Derivative
|
|
Database. You are solely responsible for any modifications of a Derivative
|
|
Database made by You or another Person at Your direction. You may not impose
|
|
any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed
|
|
under this License.
|
|
|
|
5.0 Moral rights
|
|
|
|
5.1 Moral rights. This section covers moral rights, including any rights to
|
|
be identified as the author of the Database or to object to treatment that
|
|
would otherwise prejudice the author's honour and reputation, or any other
|
|
derogatory treatment:
|
|
|
|
a. For jurisdictions allowing waiver of moral rights, Licensor waives all
|
|
moral rights that Licensor may have in the Database to the fullest extent
|
|
possible by the law of the relevant jurisdiction under Section 10.4;
|
|
|
|
b. If waiver of moral rights under Section 5.1 a in the relevant jurisdiction
|
|
is not possible, Licensor agrees not to assert any moral rights over the Database
|
|
and waives all claims in moral rights to the fullest extent possible by the
|
|
law of the relevant jurisdiction under Section 10.4; and
|
|
|
|
c. For jurisdictions not allowing waiver or an agreement not to assert moral
|
|
rights under Section 5.1 a and b, the author may retain their moral rights
|
|
over certain aspects of the Database.
|
|
|
|
Please note that some jurisdictions do not allow for the waiver of moral rights,
|
|
and so moral rights may still subsist over the Database in some jurisdictions.
|
|
|
|
6.0 Fair dealing, Database exceptions, and other rights not affected
|
|
|
|
6.1 This License does not affect any rights that You or anyone else may independently
|
|
have under any applicable law to make any use of this Database, including
|
|
without limitation:
|
|
|
|
a. Exceptions to the Database Right including: Extraction of Contents from
|
|
non-electronic Databases for private purposes, Extraction for purposes of
|
|
illustration for teaching or scientific research, and Extraction or Re-utilisation
|
|
for public security or an administrative or judicial procedure.
|
|
|
|
b. Fair dealing, fair use, or any other legally recognised limitation or exception
|
|
to infringement of copyright or other applicable laws.
|
|
|
|
6.2 This License does not affect any rights of lawful users to Extract and
|
|
Re-utilise insubstantial parts of the Contents, evaluated quantitatively or
|
|
qualitatively, for any purposes whatsoever, including creating a Derivative
|
|
Database (subject to other rights over the Contents, see Section 2.4). The
|
|
repeated and systematic Extraction or Re-utilisation of insubstantial parts
|
|
of the Contents may however amount to the Extraction or Re-utilisation of
|
|
a Substantial part of the Contents.
|
|
|
|
7.0 Warranties and Disclaimer
|
|
|
|
7.1 The Database is licensed by the Licensor "as is" and without any warranty
|
|
of any kind, either express, implied, or arising by statute, custom, course
|
|
of dealing, or trade usage. Licensor specifically disclaims any and all implied
|
|
warranties or conditions of title, non-infringement, accuracy or completeness,
|
|
the presence or absence of errors, fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability,
|
|
or otherwise. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties,
|
|
so this exclusion may not apply to You.
|
|
|
|
8.0 Limitation of liability
|
|
|
|
8.1 Subject to any liability that may not be excluded or limited by law, the
|
|
Licensor is not liable for, and expressly excludes, all liability for loss
|
|
or damage however and whenever caused to anyone by any use under this License,
|
|
whether by You or by anyone else, and whether caused by any fault on the part
|
|
of the Licensor or not. This exclusion of liability includes, but is not limited
|
|
to, any special, incidental, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages
|
|
such as loss of revenue, data, anticipated profits, and lost business. This
|
|
exclusion applies even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility
|
|
of such damages.
|
|
|
|
8.2 If liability may not be excluded by law, it is limited to actual and direct
|
|
financial loss to the extent it is caused by proved negligence on the part
|
|
of the Licensor.
|
|
|
|
9.0 Termination of Your rights under this License
|
|
|
|
9.1 Any breach by You of the terms and conditions of this License automatically
|
|
terminates this License with immediate effect and without notice to You. For
|
|
the avoidance of doubt, Persons who have received the Database, the whole
|
|
or a Substantial part of the Contents, Derivative Databases, or the Database
|
|
as part of a Collective Database from You under this License will not have
|
|
their licenses terminated provided their use is in full compliance with this
|
|
License or a license granted under Section 4.8 of this License. Sections 1,
|
|
2, 7, 8, 9 and 10 will survive any termination of this License.
|
|
|
|
9.2 If You are not in breach of the terms of this License, the Licensor will
|
|
not terminate Your rights under it.
|
|
|
|
9.3 Unless terminated under Section 9.1, this License is granted to You for
|
|
the duration of applicable rights in the Database.
|
|
|
|
9.4 Reinstatement of rights. If you cease any breach of the terms and conditions
|
|
of this License, then your full rights under this License will be reinstated:
|
|
|
|
a. Provisionally and subject to permanent termination until the 60th day after
|
|
cessation of breach;
|
|
|
|
b. Permanently on the 60th day after cessation of breach unless otherwise
|
|
reasonably notified by the Licensor; or
|
|
|
|
c. Permanently if reasonably notified by the Licensor of the violation, this
|
|
is the first time You have received notice of violation of this License from
|
|
the Licensor, and You cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt
