As I have the increasing demand to formalize my public domain stuff, I am hereby modifying version the WPDD for personal use. I don't think it's a good idea for others to use this, because it hasn't been checked by professional lawyers yet. But anyways, here it is, out of necessity.</p> + +<pre> +Runxi Yu's Public Domain Dedication + +Version 1. + +Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, +are permitted in any medium without royalty, provided this notice is +preserved. To avoid potential confusion, if you make modifications +please don't call your version Runxi Yu's Public Domain Dedicator, +the Worldwide Public Domain Dedication or anything else that might +be confusingly similar. This file is offered as-is, without any +warranty. + +Statement of Purpose + +The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically +confer exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the +copyright holder(s) (each and all, a "holder") of an original work of +authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work"). + +Certain holders wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work +for the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural +and scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and +without fear of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, +incorporate in other works, reuse and redistribute as freely as +possible in any form whatsoever and for any purposes, including +without limitation commercial purposes. These holders may contribute +to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free culture and the further +production of creative, cultural and scientific works, or to gain +reputation or greater distribution for their Work in part through the +use and efforts of others. + +For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any +expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person or +organization associating this Runxi Yu's Public Domain Dedication with +a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that they are a holder of +Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily elects to apply +this Runxi Yu's Public Domain Dedication to the Work and publicly +distribute the Work under its terms, with knowledge of their Copyright +and Related Rights in the Work and the meaning and intended legal +effect of this Runxi Yu's Public Domain Dedication on those rights. + +1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under this +Runxi Yu's Public Domain Dedication may be protected by copyright and +related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and Related Rights"). +Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not limited to, the +following: + + i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, + communicate, and translate a Work; + ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or + performer(s); + iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or + likeness depicted in a Work; + iv. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse + of data in a Work; + v. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC + of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 + on the legal protection of databases, and under any national + implementation thereof, including any amended or successor + version of such directive); + vi. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout + the world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national + implementations thereof. + +2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in +contravention of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, +permanently, irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and +surrenders all of Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and +associated claims and causes of action, whether now known or unknown +(including existing as well as future claims and causes of action), +in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum +duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time +extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number +of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without +limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the +"Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each member +of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and +successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to +revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal +or equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the +public as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. + +3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any +reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, +then the Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted +taking into account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In +addition, to the extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby +grants to each affected person a royalty-free, non transferable, non +sublicensable, non exclusive, irrevocable and unconditional license +to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work (i) +in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided +by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) +in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and +(iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation +commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "License"). The +License shall be deemed effective as of the date this Runxi Yu's +Public Domain Dedication was applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should +any part of the License for any reason be judged legally invalid or +ineffective under applicable law, such partial invalidity or +ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder of the License, +and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that they will not (i) +exercise any of their remaining Copyright and Related Rights in the +Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of action with +respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's express +Statement of Purpose. + +4. Waiver of Patent Rights. Notwithstanding the provisions of section +2, Affirmer acknowledges that the design codes, utility, technical +figures, charts, methods, processes, and all information related to +the patent/invention arising out of the Work, the sources, source +codes, objects, object codes and all system documentation relating +thereto shall not be confidential and shall be non-proprietary for +the public worldwide. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in +contravention of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, +permanently, irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and +surrenders all of Affirmer's patent rights and associated claims and +causes of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as +well as future claims and causes of action) throughout the world, +whether arising under federal law, state law, common law, foreign +law, or otherwise, for any patent/invention included by Affirmer in +the Work that are licensable by the Affirmer, both currently owned or +controlled and acquired or controlled in the future (the "Waiver of +Patent Rights"). The Waiver of Patent Rights shall not be subject to +revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal +or equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the +public as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. + +5. Patent Grant Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver of Patent +Rights for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under +applicable law, then the Waiver of Patent Rights shall be preserved +to the maximum extent permitted taking into account Affirmer's +express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the extent the Waiver +of Patent Rights is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected +person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non +exclusive, irrevocable and unconditional license to Affirmer's patent +rights, where such license applies only to those patents/inventions +included by Affirmer in the Work that are licensable by Affirmer, +both currently owned or controlled and acquired or controlled in the +future, that are necessarily infringed by making, having made, using, +selling, offering for sale, importing or transferring the Work, or +otherwise practicing any method or procedure in any patent/invention +included by Affirmer in the Work, in whole or in part, alone or in +combination with or included in any other Work (i) in all territories +worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law +or treaty including future time extensions, (iii) in any current or +future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose +whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or +promotional purposes (the "Patent License"). The Patent License shall +be deemed effective as of the date this Runxi Yu's Public Domain +Dedication was applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of +the Patent License for any reason be judged legally invalid or +ineffective under applicable law, such partial invalidity or +ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder of the Patent +License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that they will not +(i) exercise any of their patent rights in the Work or (ii) assert +any associated claims and causes of action with respect to the Work, +in either case contrary to Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. + +6. Versions. New versions of the Runxi Yu's Public Domain Dedication +may be released via https://runxiyu.org/note/pubdom.html in order +to address issues or concerns that come up. Such new versions shall +remain similar in spirit to provide, as closely as possible, a total +waiver of all rights. Any person or organization receiving a Work +covered by this version of the Runxi Yu's Public Domain Dedication +may elect to apply any later version of the Runxi Yu's Public Domain +Dedication to that Work. + +7.
