Community Data License Agreement – Permissive – Version 1.0

This is the Community Data License Agreement – Permissive, Version 1.0 (“Agreement”).
Data is provided to You under this Agreement by each of the Data Providers.
Your exercise of any of the rights and permissions granted below constitutes
Your acceptance and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

The benefits that each Data Provider receives from making Data available and
that You receive from Data or otherwise under these terms and conditions shall
be deemed sufficient consideration for the formation of this Agreement.  Accordingly,
Data Provider(s) and You (the “Parties”) agree as follows:

Section 1.  Definitions

1.1 “Add” means to supplement Data with Your own or someone else’s Data, resulting
in Your “Additions.”  Additions do not include Results.

1.2 “Computational Use” means Your analysis (through the use of computational
devices or otherwise) or other interpretation of Data.  By way of example
and not limitation, “Computational Use” includes the application of any computational
analytical technique, the purpose of which is the analysis of any Data in
digital form to generate information about Data such as patterns, trends,
correlations, inferences, insights and attributes.

1.3 “Data” means the information (including copyrightable information, such
as images or text), collectively or individually, whether created or gathered
by a Data Provider or an Entity acting on its behalf, to which rights are
granted under this Agreement.

1.4 “Data Provider” means any Entity (including any employee or contractor
of such Entity authorized to Publish Data on behalf of such Entity) that Publishes
Data under this Agreement prior to Your Receiving it.

1.5 “Enhanced Data” means the subset of Data that You Publish and that is
composed of (a) Your Additions and/or (b) Modifications to Data You have received
under this Agreement.

1.6 “Entity” means any natural person or organization that exists under the
laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized, together with all other
entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with
that entity.  For the purposes of this definition, “control” means (a) the
power, directly or indirectly, to cause the direction or management of such
entity, whether by contract or otherwise, (b) the ownership of more than fifty
percent (50%) of the outstanding shares or securities, (c) the beneficial
ownership of such entity or, (d) the ability to appoint, whether by agreement
or right, the majority of directors of an Entity.

1.7 “Modify” means to delete, erase, correct or re-arrange Data, resulting
in “Modifications.”  Modifications do not include Results.

1.8 “Publish” means to make all or a subset of Data (including Your Enhanced
Data) available in any manner which enables its Use, including by providing
a copy on physical media or remote access.  For any form of Entity, that is
to make the Data available to any individual who is not employed by that Entity
or engaged as a contractor or agent to perform work on that Entity’s behalf.
A “Publication” occurs each time You Publish Data.

1.9 “Receive” or “Receives” means to have been given access to Data, locally
or remotely.

1.10 “Results” means the outcomes or outputs that You obtain from Your Computational
Use of Data.  Results shall not include more than a de minimis portion of
the Data on which the Computational Use is based.

1.11 “Sui Generis Database Rights” means rights, other than copyright, resulting
from Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11
March 1996 on the legal protection of databases, as amended and/or succeeded,
as well as other equivalent rights anywhere in the world.

1.12 “Use” means using Data (including accessing, copying, studying, reviewing,
adapting, analyzing, evaluating, or making Computational Use of it), either
by machines or humans, or a combination of both.

1.13 “You” or “Your” means any Entity that Receives Data under this Agreement.

Section 2.  Right and License to Use and to Publish

Data.

2.2 To the extent that the Data or the coordination, selection or arrangement
of Data is protected or protectable under copyright, Sui Generis Database
Rights, or other law, Data Provider(s) further agree(s) that such Data or
coordination, selection or arrangement is hereby licensed to You and to anyone
else who Receives Data under this Agreement for Use and Publication, subject

of Results.

Section 4.  Data Provider(s)’ Representations
