- ## 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 into a collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collective
- Database will not be considered a Derivative Database.
- "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.
- "Extraction" – Means the permanent or temporary transfer of all or a
- Substantial part of the Contents to another medium by any means or in

- "Publicly" – means to Persons other than You or under Your control by
- either more than 50% ownership or by the power to direct their
- activities (such as contracting with an independent consultant).

- ### 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 of the notice.
- Persons subject to permanent termination of rights are not eligible to
- be a recipient and receive a license under Section 4.8.
- 9.5 Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release
- the Database under different license terms or to stop distributing or
- making available the Database. Releasing the Database under different
- license terms or stopping the distribution of the Database will not
- withdraw this License (or any other license that has been, or is
- required to be, granted under the terms of this License), and this
- License will continue in full force and effect unless terminated as
- stated above.
- ### 10.0 General
- 10.1 If any provision of this License is held to be invalid or
- unenforceable, that must not affect the validity or enforceability of
- the remainder of the terms and conditions of this License and each
- remaining provision of this License shall be valid and enforced to the
- fullest extent permitted by law.
- 10.2 This License is the entire agreement between the parties with
- respect to the rights granted here over the Database. It replaces any
- earlier understandings, agreements or representations with respect to
- the Database.
- 10.3 If You are in breach of the terms of this License, You will not be
- entitled to rely on the terms of this License or to complain of any
- breach by the Licensor.
- 10.4 Choice of law. This License takes effect in and will be governed by
- the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in which the License terms are
- sought to be enforced. If the standard suite of rights granted under
- applicable copyright law and Database Rights in the relevant
- jurisdiction includes additional rights not granted under this License,
- these additional rights are granted in this License in order to meet the
- terms of this License.
