  # Code Credit License

  Version 1.0.0

  ## Purpose

  This license gives everyone as much permission to work with
  this software as possible, while protecting contributors
  from liability and requiring credit for their work.

  ## Agreement

  In order to receive this license, you have to agree
  to its rules.  Those rules are both obligations under
  that agreement and conditions to your license.  Don't do
  anything with this software that triggers a rule you can't
  or won't follow.

  ## Notices

  Make sure everyone who gets a copy of any part of
  this software from you, with or without changes,
  also gets the text of this license or a link to
  <https://codecreditlicense.com/license/1.0.0>.

  ## Give Credit

  You must give this software and each contributor credit
  for contributing to goods or services that you develop,
  test, produce, or provide with the help of this software.

  ## How to Give Credit

  In general, you must give credit in such a way that others
  can freely and readily find a written notice identifying
  this software, by name, as a contribution to your goods
  or services, as well as each contributor, by name, as a
  contributor to this software.  You must not do anything
  to stop others from sharing, publishing, or using those
  credits.

  ## Conventions

  If widespread convention dictates a particular way to
  give credit for your kind of goods or services, such as
  by end credit for a film, citation for an academic paper,
  acknowledgment for a book, or billing for a show, then
  follow that convention.  For software provided to users to
  run on their own computers, give credit in documentation,
  notice files, and any "about" page or screen.  For software
  provided as a web service, give credit in `credits.txt`
  according to <https://creditstxt.com>.

  ## Who to Credit

  If contributors give their names or the name of this
  software along with the software in a conventional way,
  such as in software package metadata or on an "about"
  page or screen, you may rely on the names they give that
  way to be accurate and complete.  If contributors don't
  give names that way, but include a link to a homepage
  for this software, you must investigate that homepage for
  names to credit.  If contributors give neither names to
  credit nor a link to a homepage, you do not have to do
  independent research to find names to credit.

  ## Declining Credit

  On written request from a contributor, you must remove
  their name from the credits for your goods or services
  going forward.  On written request from all credited
  contributors to this software, you must do the same for
  the name of this software.

  ## Copyright

  Each contributor licenses you to do everything with this
  software that would otherwise infringe that contributor's
  copyright in it.

  ## Patent

  Each contributor licenses you to do everything with this
  software that would otherwise infringe any patent claims
  they can license or become able to license.

  ## Excuse

  If anyone notifies you in writing that you have not
  complied with [Notices](#notices) or [Credit](#credit),
  you can keep your license by taking all practical steps
  to comply within thirty days after the notice.  If you do
  not do so, your license ends immediately.

  ## Reliability

  No contributor can revoke this license.

  ## No Liability

  ***As far as the law allows, this software comes as is,
  without any warranty or condition, and no contributor
  will be liable to anyone for any damages related to this
  software or this license, under any kind of legal claim.***
