Most jurisdictions, signatories to the Berne Convention, automatically impart exclusive rights to the creator(s) and owner(s) (referred to as "Owner") of a creative Work.

An Owner may choose to waive their exclusive rights to the Work through the licensing under the "No Rights Reserved" principle, bestowing the rights of the content to the public domain. By permanently renouncing these rights, the Owner acknowledges the legal consequences of such free licensing.

WAIVER

To the greatest extent applicable (but not in contradiction to applicable laws), ipso facto, the Owner non-equivocably, irrevocably, releases their Work into the public domain in all countries worldwide, waiving any exclusive rights to the Work and permitting the known or unknown usage of the content, without prior consent of the Owner for such usage; including whatever purpose it may be used in, be it commercial or not (the "Waiver").

TERMINATION (de jure)

Should the Waiver for any reason be deemed legally invalid under applicable law, the Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted.

LIMITATION

No trademark or patent rights shall be infringed or otherwise affected by the License.

  • The Owner offers the Work on an as-is basis, without warranties of accuracy, errors, fitness, non infringement, or any other kind concerning the Work, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.

  • The Owner disclaims responsibility for relinquishing rights of other persons that may apply to the Work and obtaining necessary consent, permission or rights required for use of the Work.
