COPYRIGHT.CLL

Copyright Less License

=== Licensing terms ===

The Author is German or releasing under German law in the European 
Union, therefor the German Urheberrecht applies to the Works (Source 
Code, Text, Program, etc.).

Under German Urheberrecht the Author did not add any Copyright to the 
Works and thereby placed the Works into the Public Domain (PD) as long 
as the Works has no Copyright on it.

By using the Copyright Less License (CLL) the Author explicitly states, 
that the works of the Author never shall be covered by any Copyright.

-- Additional information --

The CLL itself is placed under the CLL.

As the Works is not copyrighted and free of charge, there is no warranty 
of any kind to the extend permitted by applicable law. You are 
explicitly informed that under normal circumstances you use the Works 
solely at your own risk and you cannot hold others liable for any 
defects, material or immaterial loss or damages which arise from the 
Works.

For Works covered by the CLL you have the same rights as you have with 
any other Public Domain Works, except for the single issue that you are 
not allowed to cover the Works by any Copyright. So you can freely alter 
and distribute the Works, in whole or in parts, you can use it in or 
make it part of other Works. However, if the Works is included into 
something which is covered by a Copyright, you must make sure that the 
Copyright does not cover the part which falls under the CLL.

You are allowed to drop the CLL and replace it by another license. 
However you then shall make sure that others are aware of the CLL nature 
of the Works which came under the CLL, such that the others do not 
accidentally add their Copyright to the Works, as adding a Copyright not 
knowingly of the CLL nature of the source still is prohibited by German 
Urheberrecht. To add a Copyright to something covered by the 
Urheberrecht, you must make sure you have the permission of the Author 
to do that, however (by choosing the CLL) the Author has explicitly 
announced that nobody shall get this right. Also you cannot claim that 
the author implicitly gave such a permission as the author explicitly 
neglected this.
