Software and related material (data and (or) documentation), contained in or furnished in connection with a software distribution, are made available by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to be used in the public interest and in the advancement of science. You may, without any fee or cost, use, copy, modify, or distribute this software, and any derivative works thereof, and its supporting documentation, subject to the following restrictions and understandings.

Statement of Purpose
54

6-
If you distribute copies or modifications of the software and related material, make sure the recipients receive a copy of this notice and receive or can get a copy of the original distribution. If the software and (or) related material are modified and distributed, it must be made clear that the recipients do not have the original and they must be informed of the extent of the modifications. For example, modified files must include a prominent notice stating the modifications made, the author of the modifications, and the date the modifications were made. This restriction is necessary to guard against problems introduced in the software by others, reflecting negatively on the reputation of the USGS.
5+
The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
6+
exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator and
7+
subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
8+
authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
79

8-
The software is public property and you therefore have the right to the source code, if desired.
10+
Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for the
11+
purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and scientific
12+
works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear of later
13+
claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other works, reuse
14+
and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever and for any
15+
purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes. These owners may
16+
contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free culture and the
17+
further production of creative, cultural and scientific works, or to gain
18+
reputation or greater distribution for their Work in part through the use and
19+
efforts of others.

You may charge fees for distribution, warranties, and services provided in connection with the software or derivative works thereof. The name USGS can be used in any advertising or publicity to endorse or promote any products or commercial entity using this software if specific written permission is obtained from the USGS.
21+
For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any expectation
22+
of additional consideration or compensation, the person associating CC0 with a
23+
Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she is an owner of Copyright
24+
and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily elects to apply CC0 to the Work
25+
and publicly distribute the Work under its terms, with knowledge of his or her
26+
Copyright and Related Rights in the Work and the meaning and intended legal
27+
effect of CC0 on those rights.

The user agrees to appropriately acknowledge the authors and the USGS in publications that result from the use of this software or in products that include this software in whole or in part.
29+
1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
30+
protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
31+
Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not limited
32+
to, the following:

Because the software and related material are free (other than nominal materials and handling fees) and provided "as is," the authors, the USGS, and the United States Government have made no warranty, express or implied, as to accuracy or completeness and are not obligated to provide the user with any support, consulting, training or assistance of any kind with regard to the use, operation, and performance of this software nor to provide the user with any updates, revisions, new versions or "bug fixes".
34+
i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, communicate,
35+
and translate a Work;
1536

16-
The user assumes all risk for any damages whatsoever resulting from loss of use, data, or profits arising in connection with the access, use, quality, or performance of this software.
37+
ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
38+
39+
iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or likeness
40+
depicted in a Work;
41+
42+
iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
43+
subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
44+
45+
v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data in
46+
a Work;
47+
48+
vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the
49+
European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
50+
protection of databases, and under any national implementation thereof,
51+
including any amended or successor version of such directive); and
52+
53+
vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the world
54+
based on applicable law or treaty, and any national implementations thereof.
55+
56+
2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention of,
57+
applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently, irrevocably and
58+
unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of Affirmer's Copyright
59+
and Related Rights and associated claims and causes of action, whether now
60+
known or unknown (including existing as well as future claims and causes of
61+
action), in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum
62+
duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time
63+
extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of
64+
copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation
65+
commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes
66+
the Waiver for the benefit of each member of the public at large and to the
67+
detriment of Affirmer's heirs and successors, fully intending that such Waiver
68+
shall not be subject to revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or
69+
any other legal or equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work
70+
by the public as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
71+
72+
3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason be
73+
judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the Waiver
74+
shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into account
75+
Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the extent the Waiver
76+
is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected person a royalty-free,
77+
non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, irrevocable and
78+
unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights in
79+
the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration
80+
provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii)
81+
in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any
82+
purpose whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or
83+
promotional purposes (the "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as
84+
of the date CC0 was applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the
85+
License for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under
86+
applicable law, such partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not
87+
invalidate the remainder of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby
88+
affirms that he or she will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining
89+
Copyright and Related Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims
90+
and causes of action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to
91+
Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
92+
93+
4. Limitations and Disclaimers.
94+
95+
a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
96+
surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
97+
98+
b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or warranties
99+
of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied, statutory or otherwise,
100+
including without limitation warranties of title, merchantability, fitness
101+
for a particular purpose, non infringement, or the absence of latent or
102+
other defects, accuracy, or the present or absence of errors, whether or not
103+
discoverable, all to the greatest extent permissible under applicable law.
104+
105+
c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons
106+
that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without limitation
107+
any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work. Further, Affirmer
108+
disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary consents, permissions
109+
or other rights required for any use of the Work.
110+
111+
d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a
112+
party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to this
113+
CC0 or use of the Work.
