Preamble
This License is a copyright license for artwork, scripts, software, animations and the other kinds of works found on the Thinkingman web site. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
Terms and Conditions
- Definitions.
“This License” refers to version 3.01 of the Thinkingman General Use License, the document you are currently reading.
“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as robotics circuitry and physical sculptures and/or works of art.
“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be individuals or organizations.
To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a “modified version” of the earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work.
A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.
To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.
To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
- Source Code.
The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a work.
A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.
The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work’s System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
- Basic Permissions.
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by this License. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as this license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of making presentations on behalf of Thinkingman.com, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all Thinkingman materials.
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed.
- Conveying Verbatim Copies or Modified Source Versions.
You may not convey any works on this site, nor modified versions of the same to others for profit, nor for the purpose of making profit.
- Termination.
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any granted patent licenses).
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from Thinkingman is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
- Patents.
A “contributor” (i.e. an artist, programmer or other content creator either working for Thinkingman or contributing content through Thinkingman’s “CMS”: the Content Management System located at http://www.thinkingman.com) is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor’s “contributor version”.
A contributor’s “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition, “control” includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.
Notice is hereby given that some or all contents, source code and/or artworks on the Thinkingman site may be patented or covered by other Copyrights or licenses, and thus essential patent claims may be limited to Thinkingman.com or its authorized representatives. Not all owners of “thinkingman.com” e-mail account addresses are authorized representatives.
When contributing content to the Thinkingman website, either by e-mail or by using Thinkingman’s CMS, the user may be giving up their copyrights to this content, unless already protected by a previously-existing copyright. In order to avoid confusion, anyone uploading copyrighted material for which they own the control of the copyright must notify us in writing while contributing the content. Otherwise, it will be automatically assumed that there is no copyright on the uploaded/contributed work, unless the work is a logo or other similar emblem not designed by Thinkingman, or a clearly-recognizable artwork piece which has been widely available for public viewing in the past and has been seen by us.
- Disclaimer of Warranty.
There is no warranty for this Program, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Except when otherwise stated in writing the copyright holders and/or other parties provide the Program “as is” without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the Program is with you. Should the Program prove defective, you assume the cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction.
- Limitation of Liability.
In no event unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing will any copyright holder, or any other party who modifies and/or conveys the Program as permitted above, be liable to you for damages, including any general, special, incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use the Program (including but not limited to loss of data or data being rendered inaccurate or losses sustained by you or third parties or a failure of the Program to operate with any other programs), even if such holder or other party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
- Interpretation of Sections 7 and 8.
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.
