  15. Public Domain Dedication
  16. ========================
  17. The persons who have associated their work with this project (the
  18. "Dedicator": David Goodger and the many contributors to the Docutils
  19. project) hereby dedicate the entire copyright, less the exceptions_
  20. listed below, in the work of authorship known as "Docutils" identified
  21. below (the "Work") to the public domain.
  22. The primary repository for the Work is the Internet World Wide Web
  23. site <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/>. The Work consists of the
  24. files within the "docutils" module of the Docutils project Subversion
  25. repository (Internet host docutils.svn.sourceforge.net, filesystem path
  26. /svnroot/docutils), whose Internet web interface is located at
  27. <http://docutils.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/docutils/>. Files dedicated to the
  28. public domain may be identified by the inclusion, near the beginning
  29. of each file, of a declaration of the form::
  30. Copyright: This document/module/DTD/stylesheet/file/etc. has been
  31. placed in the public domain.
  32. Dedicator makes this dedication for the benefit of the public at large
  33. and to the detriment of Dedicator's heirs and successors. Dedicator
  34. intends this dedication to be an overt act of relinquishment in
  35. perpetuity of all present and future rights under copyright law,
  36. whether vested or contingent, in the Work. Dedicator understands that
  37. such relinquishment of all rights includes the relinquishment of all
  38. rights to enforce (by lawsuit or otherwise) those copyrights in the
  39. Work.
  40. Dedicator recognizes that, once placed in the public domain, the Work
  41. may be freely reproduced, distributed, transmitted, used, modified,
  42. built upon, or otherwise exploited by anyone for any purpose,
  43. commercial or non-commercial, and in any way, including by methods
  44. that have not yet been invented or conceived.
  45. (This dedication is derived from the text of the `Creative Commons
  46. Public Domain Dedication`. [#]_)

  48. recommend that it be applied to works: This tool is based on United
