CC0 1.0

Praat contains some code that is in the public domain, among which the Blake3 library. Here is the legal code for CC0 1.0:

`CC0 1.0 Universal
` `
` `CREATIVE COMMONS CORPORATION IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE
` `LEGAL SERVICES. DISTRIBUTION OF THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT CREATE AN
` `ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS
` `INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS. CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES
` `REGARDING THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS
` `PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM
` `THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED
` `HEREUNDER.
` `
` `Statement of Purpose
` `
` `The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
` `exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator
` `and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
` `authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
` `
` `Certain owners 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 owners 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
` `associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she
` `is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily
` `elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its
` `terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the
` `Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights.
` `
` `1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 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 against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
` `subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
` `v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data
` `in a Work;
` `vi. 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); and
` `vii. 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 CC0 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 he or she
` `will not (i) exercise any of his or her 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. Limitations and Disclaimers.
` `
` `a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
` `surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
` `b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or
` `warranties of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied,
` `statutory or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of
` `title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non
` `infringement, or the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or
` `the present or absence of errors, whether or not discoverable, all to
` `the greatest extent permissible under applicable law.
` `c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons
` `that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without
` `limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work.
` `Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary
` `consents, permissions or other rights required for any use of the
` `Work.
` `d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a
` `party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to
` `this CC0 or use of the Work.
