− | |Comment=
| |
− | | |
− | This is a free and copyleft license meant for artistic works. It
| |
− | permits commercial distribution, as any free license must. It is a
| |
− | copyleft license because any larger work that includes part of the
| |
− | work you received must be released, as a whole, either under the same
| |
− | license or under a similar license that meets stated criteria. Please
| |
− | don't use it for software or documentation, since it is incompatible
| |
− | with the GNU GPL and with the GNU FDL.

− | | |
− | Free Art License 1.3 (FAL 1.3)
| |
− | | |
− | Preamble
| |
− | | |
− | The Free Art License grants the right to freely copy, distribute, and
| |
− | transform creative works without infringing the author's rights.
| |
− | | |
− | The Free Art License recognizes and protects these rights. Their
| |
− | implementation has been reformulated in order to allow everyone to use
| |
− | creations of the human mind in a creative manner, regardless of their
| |
− | types and ways of expression.
| |
− | | |
− | While the public's access to creations of the human mind usually is
| |
− | restricted by the implementation of copyright law, it is favoured by
| |
− | the Free Art License. This license intends to allow the use of a
| |
− | work’s resources; to establish new conditions for creating in order to
| |
− | increase creation opportunities. The Free Art License grants the right
| |
− | to use a work, and acknowledges the right holder’s and the user’s
| |
− | rights and responsibility.
| |
− | | |
− | The invention and development of digital technologies, Internet and
| |
− | Free Software have changed creation methods: creations of the human
| |
− | mind can obviously be distributed, exchanged, and transformed. They
| |
− | allow to produce common works to which everyone can contribute to the
| |
− | benefit of all.
| |
− | | |
− | The main rationale for this Free Art License is to promote and protect
| |
− | these creations of the human mind according to the principles of
| |
− | copyleft: freedom to use, copy, distribute, transform, and prohibition
| |
− | of exclusive appropriation.
| |
− | | |
− | Definitions
| |
− | | |
− | “work” either means the initial work, the subsequent works or the
| |
− | common work as defined hereafter:
| |
− | | |
− | “common work” means a work composed of the initial work and all
| |
− | subsequent contributions to it (originals and copies). The initial
| |
− | author is the one who, by choosing this license, defines the
| |
− | conditions under which contributions are made.
| |
− | | |
− | “Initial work” means the work created by the initiator of the common
| |
− | work (as defined above), the copies of which can be modified by
| |
− | whoever wants to
| |
− | | |
− | “Subsequent works” means the contributions made by authors who
| |
− | participate in the evolution of the common work by exercising the
| |
− | rights to reproduce, distribute, and modify that are granted by the
| |
− | license.
| |
− | | |
− | “Originals” (sources or resources of the work) means all copies of
| |
− | either the initial work or any subsequent work mentioning a date and
| |
− | used by their author(s) as references for any subsequent updates,
| |
− | interpretations, copies or reproductions.
| |
− | | |
− | “Copy” means any reproduction of an original as defined by this
| |
− | license.
| |
− | | |
− | 1. OBJECT

| |
− | can use this work freely.
| |
− | | |
− | 2. SCOPE
| |
− | | |
− | This work is subject to copyright law. Through this license its author
| |
− | specifies the extent to which you can copy, distribute, and modify it.
| |
− | | |
− | 2.1 FREEDOM TO COPY (OR TO MAKE REPRODUCTIONS)
| |
− | | |
− | You have the right to copy this work for yourself, your friends or any

| |
− | | |
− | 2.2 FREEDOM TO DISTRIBUTE, TO PERFORM IN PUBLIC
| |
− | | |
− | You have the right to distribute copies of this work; whether modified
| |
− | or not, whatever the medium and the place, with or without any charge,
| |
− | provided that you: attach this license without any modification to the
| |
− | copies of this work or indicate precisely where the license can be
| |
− | found, specify to the recipient the names of the author(s) of the
| |
− | originals, including yours if you have modified the work, specify to
| |
− | the recipient where to access the originals (either initial or
| |
− | subsequent).
| |
− | | |
− | The authors of the originals may, if they wish to, give you the right
| |
− | to distribute the originals under the same conditions as the copies.
| |
− | | |
− | 2.3 FREEDOM TO MODIFY
| |
− | | |
− | You have the right to modify copies of the originals (whether initial
| |
− | or subsequent) provided you comply with the following conditions: all
| |
− | conditions in article 2.2 above, if you distribute modified copies;
| |
− | indicate that the work has been modified and, if it is possible, what
| |
− | kind of modifications have been made; distribute the subsequent work
| |
− | under the same license or any compatible license.
| |
− | | |
− | The author(s) of the original work may give you the right to modify it
| |
− | under the same conditions as the copies.
| |
− | | |
− | 3. RELATED RIGHTS
| |
− | | |
− | Activities giving rise to author’s rights and related rights shall not
| |
− | challenge the rights granted by this license.
| |
− | | |
− | For example, this is the reason why performances must be subject to
| |
− | the same license or a compatible license. Similarly, integrating the
| |
− | work in a database, a compilation or an anthology shall not prevent
| |
− | anyone from using the work under the same conditions as those defined
| |
− | in this license.
| |
− | | |
− | 4. INCORPORATION OF THE WORK
| |
− | | |
− | Incorporating this work into a larger work that is not subject to the
| |
− | Free Art License shall not challenge the rights granted by this
| |
− | license.
| |
− | | |
− | If the work can no longer be accessed apart from the larger work in
| |
− | which it is incorporated, then incorporation shall only be allowed
| |
− | under the condition that the larger work is subject either to the Free
| |
− | Art License or a compatible license.
| |
− | | |
− | 5. COMPATIBILITY
| |
− | | |
− | A license is compatible with the Free Art License provided: it gives
| |
− | the right to copy, distribute, and modify copies of the work including
| |
− | for commercial purposes and without any other restrictions than those
| |
− | required by the respect of the other compatibility criteria; it
| |
− | ensures proper attribution of the work to its authors and access to
| |
− | previous versions of the work when possible; it recognizes the Free
| |
− | Art License as compatible (reciprocity); it requires that changes made
| |
− | to the work be subject to the same license or to a license which also
| |
− | meets these compatibility criteria.
| |
− | | |
− | 6. YOUR INTELLECTUAL RIGHTS
| |
− | | |
− | This license does not aim at denying your author's rights in your
| |
− | contribution or any related right. By choosing to contribute to the
| |
− | development of this common work, you only agree to grant others the
| |
− | same rights with regard to your contribution as those you were granted
| |
− | by this license. Conferring these rights does not mean you have to
| |
− | give up your intellectual rights.
| |
− | | |
− | 7. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
| |
− | | |
− | The freedom to use the work as defined by the Free Art License (right
| |
− | to copy, distribute, modify) implies that everyone is responsible for
| |
− | their own actions.
| |
− | | |
− | 8. DURATION OF THE LICENSE
| |
− | | |
− | This license takes effect as of your acceptance of its terms. The act
| |
− | of copying, distributing, or modifying the work constitutes a tacit
| |
− | agreement. This license will remain in effect for as long as the
| |
− | copyright which is attached to the work. If you do not respect the
| |
− | terms of this license, you automatically lose the rights that it
| |
− | confers.
| |
− | | |
− | If the legal status or legislation to which you are subject makes it
| |
− | impossible for you to respect the terms of this license, you may not
| |
− | make use of the rights which it confers.
| |
− | | |
− | 9. VARIOUS VERSIONS OF THE LICENSE
| |
− | | |
− | This license may undergo periodic modifications to incorporate
| |
− | improvements by its authors (instigators of the “Copyleft Attitude”
| |
− | movement) by way of new, numbered versions.
| |
− | | |
− | You will always have the choice of accepting the terms contained in
| |
− | the version under which the copy of the work was distributed to you,
| |
− | or alternatively, to use the provisions of one of the subsequent
| |
− | versions.
| |
− | | |
− | 10. SUB-LICENSING
| |
− | | |
− | Sub-licenses are not authorized by this license. Any person wishing to
| |
− | make use of the rights that it confers will be directly bound to the
| |
− | authors of the common work.
| |
− | | |
