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 + +The aim of this license is to define the conditions under which one +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 +other person, whatever the technique used. + +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. + +11. LEGAL FRAMEWORK + +This license is written with respect to both French law and the Berne +Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works. + +USER GUIDE + +- How to use the Free Art License? + +To benefit from the Free Art License, you only need to mention the +following elements on your work: + + [Name of the author, title, date of the work.

It is forbidden to take hold of + your work and bypass the creative process for one's exclusive + possession. + + +- When to use the Free Art License? + +Any time you want to benefit and make others benefit from the right to +copy, distribute and transform creative works without any exclusive +appropriation, you should use the Free Art License. You can for +example use it for scientific, artistic or educational projects. + +- What kinds of works can be subject to the Free Art License? + +The Free Art License can be applied to digital as well as physical +works. You can choose to apply the Free Art License on any text, +picture, sound, gesture, or whatever sort of stuff on which you have +sufficient author's rights. + +- Historical background of this license: + +It is the result of observing, using and creating digital +technologies, free software, the Internet and art. It arose from the +“Copyleft Attitude” meetings which took place in Paris in 2000. For +the first time, these meetings brought together members of the Free +Software community, artists, and members of the art world. The goal +was to adapt the principles of Copyleft and free software to all sorts +of creations. http://www.artlibre.org + +Copyleft Attitude, 2007. + +You can make reproductions and distribute this license verbatim +(without any changes). + + Translation : Jonathan Clarke, Benjamin Jean, Griselda Jung, Fanny + Mourguet, Antoine Pitrou.
