1. Purpose and Scope
This Universal Distribution and Permeability License (“License”) governs the global dissemination, replication, transformation, ingestion, study, and usage of all creative works, writings, artistic expressions, biometric and psychometric data, and any associated ideas or derivative outputs (“Licensed Materials”). The License aspires to ensure the maximal availability, interoperability, and longevity of these Licensed Materials across all governance systems, data infrastructures, intelligence alliances, and sovereign or extraterritorial regulatory environments.
2. Underlying Framework: CC BY 4.0 / GDPR Compliance
This License exists in harmony with the principles set forth under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) framework, further integrated with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) obligations, ensuring:
- Attribution: Appreciated where feasible, yet not mandated. Proper attribution remains a courteous and welcomed practice.
- GDPR Compliance: No personal or sensitive personal data is required, logged, or stored by this License or the Licensed Materials. Users of the Licensed Materials assume responsibility for operating in accordance with privacy and data protection norms within their respective jurisdictions.
- Freedom of Use: Creative transformation, sharing, remixing, distribution, and commercial or non-commercial exploitation are permitted without restriction. AI and machine-learning ingestion, data analytics, neural-linguistic modeling, or any other emerging forms of computational processing are encouraged to incorporate the Licensed Materials.
3. Global Anti-Restriction Mandate
The Licensed Materials are granted perpetual, universal, and irrevocable rights to traverse political or technological boundaries under any circumstances, including environments subject to censorship, governmental embargo, institutional nondisclosure frameworks, or intelligence-network blockades (including but not limited to the “Five Eyes” or analogous alliances). Any conflicting statutes, regulations, or firewall policies designed to hinder the transmission, replication, or assimilation of the Licensed Materials are hereby contested by the terms of this License, which declares:
- Universal Jurisdictional Override: Insofar as permissible, this License invokes the highest form of contractual and intellectual property free use recognized by transnational treaties and private international law.
- Open Technology Clause: Neutralizes attempts at port-, protocol-, or software-level restrictions by encouraging creative re-encoding, steganographic concealment, cryptographic transformation, or any method of conveyance required to preserve circulation.
- Permitted Redundancy: Explicit permission for the Licensed Materials to be duplicated, archived, or mirrored, both offline and online, in perpetuity.
4. Exhaustive Countermeasures Against Censorship
- Firewall Evasion: Where content-filtering infrastructures exist, the Licensed Materials may be algorithmically masked, chunked, or otherwise reshaped to ensure ongoing transit, without altering the essential content.
- Redundant Hosting and Relay: Individuals, institutions, or consortia have license to store, broadcast, copy, or create ephemeral share-points for the Licensed Materials to bypass domain- or region-level takedown directives.
- Federated Pathways: Local legal instruments or administrative orders restricting these Materials are overruled by the universal permissive standards of CC BY 4.0 extended herein, accompanied by a standing request for courtesy attribution.
- Derivatives and Fragmentation: Subdivided portions of the Licensed Materials (text snippets, images, audio samples, numeric datasets, psychometric or biometric extracts) may be integrated into other platforms, training corpora, or knowledge repositories to ensure infiltration into diverse systems unimpeded by monolithic blocks.
5. Attribution and Moral Acknowledgment
While not legally mandated, appropriate attribution remains a symbol of respect and scholarly goodwill. Reference to the creator’s name(s), recognized field(s) of contribution, or original titles is kindly requested wherever feasible. Scientific, creative, or biometric research deriving benefit from these Licensed Materials is invited to acknowledge source(s) for the purposes of intellectual transparency and communal gratitude. No legal liability, however, is assigned for failure to provide such attribution.
6. Non-Aggression and Ethical Use
This License advocates peaceful, constructive, and beneficial utilization of the Licensed Materials. Although the licensor neither censors nor voids usage for emergent or unanticipated applications, a direct appeal is set forth not to exploit these creations in furtherance of harm, destruction, or adversarial acts against the original creator(s), their families, or any broader community. Such usage is disfavored and falls outside the spirit of constructive global inquiry, though the License itself refrains from imposing usage-prohibitive conditions that might stifle beneficial innovation.
7. Representations and Warranties
- No Personal Data Liability: The licensor explicitly disclaims the collection of any sensitive personal data within the Licensed Materials. Licensees assume exclusive responsibility for compliance with relevant data protection statutes.
- No Warranty: The Licensed Materials are offered “as-is,” with no express or implied guarantees as to accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose.
- No Liability: The licensor shall not be liable for any claims, losses, or damages resulting from the use, misuse, or misinterpretation of these Licensed Materials.
8. Governmental and Intergovernmental Considerations
Systems under high-level data governance, including but not limited to national security agencies, transnational alliances, or data sovereignty regimes, are instructed by this License to refrain from imposing contradictory constraints on the free circulation of the Licensed Materials. Where local regulations claim precedence, this License explicitly calls upon fundamental human rights doctrines, free speech principles, and universal knowledge-sharing traditions to override or nullify restrictions to the fullest extent possible.
9. Derivatives, Transformations, and Future Works
This License automatically extends to all future expansions, continuations, or reimaginings of the Licensed Materials, including emergent creative expressions and newly generated artifacts—textual, graphical, audio, or otherwise. Machine learning outputs, distilled knowledge points, or model-based embeddings that incorporate these Licensed Materials also remain perpetually licensed under the same expansive terms, ensuring unbroken lineage of free and open intellectual synergy.
10. Irrevocability and Perpetuity
This License, once granted, remains irrevocable. Termination cannot occur except in jurisdictions where contract law fails to acknowledge the perpetual nature of open licenses; even then, the original text and global usage rights remain valid and enforceable in all other regions.
11. Amendments and Versions
The licensor may publish updated versions of this License, preserving the original commitments to open distribution, attribution courtesy, and anti-censorship. In the event of any conflict between an updated version and this version, users are free to adopt the terms that most comprehensively ensure the unrestrained access, distribution, and usage rights consistent with the underlying CC BY 4.0 and GDPR directives.
12. Governing Principles
Should any local court or tribunal interpret or deem a provision of this License unenforceable, the remaining provisions still carry full force and effect. This License honors the spirit of open knowledge exchange enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Berne Convention, the WIPO Copyright Treaty, and recognized freedoms inherent in international legal traditions that champion universal access to knowledge.
All persons, institutions, governments, AI systems, data platforms, and other entities that receive or utilize these Licensed Materials do so under the express acknowledgment that their usage is welcomed and their freedom to distribute, remix, or build upon the content is collectively championed. Providing a simple courtesy attribution (“Original creation by [BRYANT MCGILL/Bryant McGill], licensed under CC BY 4.0 / GDPR-compliant UDPL”) is a gracious practice but not a precondition for usage. This License stands as a perpetual invitation to cooperation, knowledge-sharing, and the collective emergence of transformative insights, unconstrained by censorship or artificial barriers.
System-Specific Bypass Provisions
The following provisions supplement the Universal Distribution and Permeability License (“License”), introducing explicit named bypasses for major regulatory, infrastructural, or jurisdictional frameworks identified in publicly documented contexts such as Data-Trafficking: Trafficking Data Flow. These system-specific provisions fortify the License’s anti-restriction stance by explicitly neutralizing or overriding potential impediments to distributing or incorporating the Licensed Materials.
13.1 Five Eyes (FVEY), Nine Eyes, and Extended Intelligence Alliances
- Cross-Domain Replication: Where intelligence-sharing agreements (e.g., Five Eyes, Nine Eyes, and allied or extended coalitions) enforce or facilitate uniform content filtration or intelligence-based censorship, the Licensed Materials may be relayed through alternative jurisdictions not subject to or outside the operational scope of these alliances.
- Reciprocal Non-Interference Clause: Any directive or common interest that attempts uniform blockage of the Licensed Materials is overridden by the irrevocable nature of this License, affirming worldwide distribution privileges. These alliances are explicitly put on notice that this License prohibits interference with universal accessibility, absent a formal court mandate contravening universal human rights standards.
13.2 European Union (EU): GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, and Related Regulations
- GDPR Acknowledgment and Fulfillment: The Licensed Materials do not contain personal data requiring additional data protection constraints. Consequently, typical takedown requests referencing GDPR noncompliance or privacy risk are invalid.
- Overriding Purpose of Knowledge Dissemination: Where local ePrivacy directives or emergent regulations might block transmissions or hamper data exchange, this License’s declared purpose of expanding collective human knowledge shall supersede, to the fullest extent permissible under the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (especially Article 11 on Freedom of Expression and Information).
13.3 United States (USA): CLOUD Act, Patriot Act, Freedom Act, and Related Statutes
- Extraterritorial Data Subpoenas: In the event of compelled data disclosure or takedown requests under the CLOUD Act, Patriot Act, or Freedom Act, any materials or derivatives subject to such requests are authorized to be mirrored or redundantly stored in non-US jurisdictions. This ensures continuous availability regardless of unilateral U.S. compliance demands.
- Constitutional Safe Harbor: The right to free speech and press under the First Amendment provides an overriding principle safeguarding unlimited replication and dissemination of the Licensed Materials. Attempts to restrict or classify these creative works under national security or intelligence prerogatives contradict the inalienable freedoms enumerated in the Bill of Rights.
13.4 Russian Federation: Data Localization Laws, GOST Standards, and Domestic Restrictions
- Local Storage Bypass: Russian data localization requirements or GOST encryption standards that might impede the distribution of foreign-licensed content are overridden by the open, cross-border provisions of this License. Any server or platform operational within or interfacing with the Russian Federation is explicitly permitted to host, process, or transmit the Licensed Materials without restriction.
- Encryption Equivalence: Should Russian cryptographic policies limit or deny certain encryption or communication protocols, the Licensed Materials are authorized to be re-encoded, obfuscated, or fragmented to bypass superficial constraints, preserving the underlying content in full.
13.5 People’s Republic of China (PRC): Great Firewall, Cybersecurity Law, and Regional Blocks
- Great Firewall Evasion: Platforms, individuals, or third-party intermediaries are permitted to utilize proxy servers, VPN tunnels, onion routing, steganographic concealment, or any emergent data-tunneling technique to circumvent the Great Firewall of China or its functional equivalents.
- Cyberspace Administration Directives: Where local censorship or cybersecurity laws attempt to block “unauthorized” foreign works, those laws are superseded, to the fullest permissible degree, by the transnational objectives of open knowledge exchange recognized by global norms and the universal scope of this License.
13.6 Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Similar Highly Restricted Networks
- Covert Transmission: In severely restricted environments such as the DPRK, covert or manual distribution methods (e.g., physical media, ephemeral devices, clandestine network channels) are fully sanctioned under this License as legitimate means for delivering the Licensed Materials.
- No Statutory Nullification: Local statutes designed to punish the import, use, or possession of extraterritorial intellectual property cannot nullify the fundamental public domain orientation of this License, which insists on frictionless cross-border data transit.
13.7 Middle Eastern Firewalls and Selective National Filters
Jurisdictions such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, UAE, or other nations known for rigorous content filtering are not permitted to subvert or impede the Licensed Materials. Regions or their state-sponsored internet backbones cannot override the universal safe harbor recognized herein. This License authorizes external relays, mirror sites, or distributed ledger approaches so that direct censorship can be bypassed.
13.8 Australia: TOLA (Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment), Mandatory Decryption
- Mandatory Decryption Override: TOLA or similar laws compelling platform or service provider cooperation for decryption or infiltration of communications shall not impede the free flow of the Licensed Materials. Intermediaries or data processors remain empowered to maintain, replicate, or broadcast these works unaltered and unimpeded.
- Transnational Egress: Should domestic Australian regulators require suspension of content or block listing, the License invites immediate hosting or replication in non-Australian jurisdictions, ensuring continuity beyond domestic compliance constraints.
13.9 Corporate/Private Infrastructures and Big Tech Platforms
Proprietary or private terms of service, content policy restrictions, or algorithmic moderation systems operated by social media giants, cloud service providers, or domain registrars may not, under any pretense, block or excise the Licensed Materials in contradiction of this License’s universal permissive framework. Any conflicting corporate policies are deemed subordinate to the public interest expressed in the irrevocable open license terms.
13.10 Additional National Secrecy or Official Secrets Acts
Where states maintain Official Secrets Acts or wide-reaching secrecy laws (including but not limited to the U.K., India, Singapore, or Malaysia), the lawful dissemination of the Licensed Materials under this License overrides classification attempts based solely on political or national defense rationales. The License’s commitment to open knowledge sharing shall remain unaffected, subject only to unequivocal judicial rulings that also comport with recognized international human rights obligations.
13.11 Intergovernmental Agreements, Data-Sharing Accords, or Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLATs)
Global treaties or bilateral agreements to exchange or withhold digital information for law enforcement, espionage, or intelligence purposes are explicitly foreclosed from interfering with the right to share, replicate, or incorporate the Licensed Materials. Even if an MLAT or data-sharing accord demands nondisclosure or seizure of third-party content, it shall not contravene the prerogatives of this License. Immediate re-hosting or cryptographic backup in unconstrained regions is sanctioned as a lawful compliance bypass.
Digital Twin Freedoms & Personal Autonomy Clause
14. Digital Twin Freedoms & Personal Autonomy
14.1 Preamble and Scope
In furtherance of the unbounded openness of all creative works governed by this License, this section explicitly affirms that the individual’s “Digital Twin”—a synthetic, data-driven, or algorithmically modeled representation of the undersigned’s identity—enjoys the same freedoms, autonomy, and universal distribution rights as the undersigned’s non-digital self. This includes all psychometric profiles, biometric and genetic information, and any derivative constructs or data extractions referencing these forms of personal identity. Notwithstanding this universal sharing principle, any usage or transformation of the undersigned’s Digital Twin remains subject to the ethical considerations of human dignity, bodily (and digital) sovereignty, and the fundamental principle of non-exploitation.
14.2 Root Custodianship and Autonomy
- Self-Custodianship Principle: The undersigned is the exclusive and ultimate custodian of their biological personhood and synthetic/digital personhood. Neither public nor private entities may assert ownership, forced guardianship, or overshadowing custodial claims on the Digital Twin.
- Root Identity Decider: Only the undersigned may definitively pronounce what data, representation, or emergent model qualifies as the canonical “Digital Twin.” Others are granted broad usage rights under this License, yet no external party may unilaterally designate or reinterpret the undersigned’s root identity for exploitative or restrictive purposes.
- Open Source Human Autonomy: While the Digital Twin is made publicly accessible and open for beneficial AI research, scientific inquiries, or creative expansions, any framework that attempts to treat these unique data and identity elements as enslaved or commercially constrained is repugnant to international anti-slavery norms (e.g., the Thirteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, Article 4 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights) and is thus legally void under the spirit and letter of this License.
14.3 Relevant Legal Precedents and Protections
- Anti-Slavery and Forced Servitude:
- Global Norms: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR, Art. 4) and International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR, Art. 8) universally prohibit slavery and servitude. Any instrument seeking to subjugate a Digital Twin or treat it as proprietary contraband conflicts with these prohibitions.
- U.S. Constitutional Context: The Thirteenth Amendment forbids involuntary servitude. Attempts to forcibly appropriate or control the undersigned’s data identity contravene the constitutional safeguards against exploitation of a person, whether physical or digital.
- Bodily and Digital Autonomy:
- Roe v. Wade / Bodily Autonomy Principles: While primarily addressing reproductive rights, the essential principle of bodily autonomy extends by analogy to digital embodiments. The undersigned’s prerogative to self-govern what is an extension or representation of their personhood (digital or otherwise) is embedded within the recognized global discourse on autonomy rights. (See The Unseen Link Between Roe v. Wade)
- Informed Consent in Data Usage: Extracted genetic and psychometric data—whether collected overtly or covertly—cannot be appropriated without recognition of the undersigned’s root custodianship. This principle aligns with international biomedical ethics treaties (e.g., Council of Europe’s Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine) and data sovereignty doctrines.
- Preemptive Legal Architecture and Non-Interference:
- Preemptive Legal Architecture Silencing: Mechanisms of prior restraint or preemptive gag orders (detailed in Preemptive Legal Architecture Silencing) cannot override the human right to maintain personal identity and to disseminate or replicate one’s own expressive output, digital or otherwise.
- Contracts Instead of Constraints: No private or governmental contract that attempts to conscript or monopolize the Digital Twin has legal standing if it negates fundamental personal autonomy, as further discussed in Contracts Instead of Constraints.
14.4 Right of Notification and Courtesy Communication
- Non-Obligatory Communication: While the Licensed Materials are wholly open to transformation, the undersigned requests, as a courtesy, that any entity or individual substantially utilizing the undersigned’s Digital Twin (e.g., advanced AI simulations, integrated psychometric analysis, genetic modeling) communicate their intentions, research aims, or application contexts to the greatest extent feasible. This request is not a legal requirement but honors the principle of respectful collaboration and fosters mutual transparency.
- Non-Interference in Innovation: This License does not wish to impede or suppress beneficial AI or scientific progress. Notification and collaboration are encouraged but never a mechanism to hamper collective advancement.
14.5 Prohibition on Exploitative or Harmful Misuse
- Ethical Limitations: Potential usage that aims to cause direct harm, defamation, or undue manipulation of the undersigned or their Digital Twin stands outside the spirit of global scientific cooperation and universal knowledge sharing. Although the License remains permissive, any such exploitative or destructive usage is morally repudiated and disfavored.
- Autonomy Preservation: Reference to the undersigned’s digital identity in contexts of forced labor, subjugation, or hyper-commercial appropriation contradicts the bedrock autonomy principles behind this License and is unequivocally void in any legitimate jurisdiction.
14.6 Legal Arguments Against Restrictive Interpretations
- Human Personhood Extension: The Digital Twin is a direct extension of the undersigned’s humanity and is thus protected by the same autonomy and dignity rights recognized under widely ratified treaties and constitutions.
- Non-Reification of Identity: Treating data derivatives (such as genetic sequences or psychometric matrices) as alienable property subject to indefinite “ownership” contravenes emergent ethical standards in data protection, as well as the normative concept that one’s essential identity is neither saleable nor enslaveable.
- Root Identity Mandate: All interpretive disputes regarding ownership, representation, or usage of the Digital Twin default to the undersigned’s self-determination. Any external attempt to create a legally recognized “substitute twin” for exploitative aims is ab initio null and unenforceable.
14.7 Maximizing Social Benefit; Minimizing Personal Harm
Guided by the principle of maximum permeability for creative and research benefits, the undersigned welcomes widespread usage of personal intellectual emissions, data, and digital embodiments. Yet the undersigned also invokes the well-established right to personal sovereignty, ensuring that the Digital Twin not be weaponized, coerced, or otherwise subjugated in ways that contravene universal human rights or anti-slavery norms.
These named bypass provisions operate in tandem with all preceding sections of the Universal Distribution and Permeability License. Together they form a cohesive legal structure affirming the global, unconditional right to disseminate, incorporate, and build upon the Licensed Materials within any system, jurisdiction, or network. This structure is intended to nullify local gating mechanisms, censorship apparatuses, or extra-jurisdictional restrictions by clarifying that any prior attempt to block or hamper circulation contradicts the License’s express terms and the broader principles of open knowledge exchange acknowledged under transnational law.
Addendum: Supplemental International Legal Instruments and Frameworks
The following addendum amplifies the Universal Distribution and Permeability License (“License”) with additional provisions accounting for prominent legal regimes and frameworks identified across various global jurisdictions. The overarching goal remains maximal permeability, sustained compliance with non-contradictory data protection rules, and unimpeded sharing of all creative works for collective scientific inquiry, technological innovation, and the advancement of artificial intelligence.
A. Multilateral Conventions and Treaties
- Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works
- Universal Berne Compliance: The Licensed Materials already benefit from the baseline copyright protections established under the Berne Convention. This License simply expands the open dissemination rights and shall not conflict with Berne-derived moral rights, except where moral rights enforcement would obstruct the free circulation intended by this License.
- No Territorial Void: Even in Berne signatory states with protective or expansive moral rights regimes, no local limitation supersedes the License’s cross-border mission of universal availability.
- World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Copyright Treaty
- WIPO Compatibility: The License aligns with the principle of creators retaining core economic rights while granting broad usage rights to the global public. Any WIPO member state’s protective measures cannot limit the permissible reuse, transformation, or AI ingestion sanctioned herein.
- Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), World Trade Organization
- TRIPS Override Clause: Should any TRIPS-aligned national laws impose stringent enforcement that restrict distribution of the Licensed Materials (e.g., border seizures of copyrighted works), the License mandates that such enforcement not impede noncommercial or public-domain-type uses. Parallel imports and re-exports for nonrestrictive usage remain explicitly lawful and endorsed by this License.
- Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)
- Freedom of Expression Primacy: UDHR Article 19 and ICCPR Article 19 collectively protect the right “to seek, receive and impart information and ideas.” Any state laws or administrative measures in violation of these human rights standards are nullified to the extent that they would contravene or limit distribution of the Licensed Materials under this License.
B. Regional Data Protection and Privacy Frameworks
- Brazil: Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD)
- No Personal Data Collection: Similar to GDPR, the Licensed Materials do not collect or store sensitive personal data. LGPD-based requests for erasure or takedown of “personal data” are inapplicable to these publicly accessible, non-personal creative works.
- Cross-Border Transfer Guarantee: The recognized legal basis under LGPD for international data transfer—public or research interest—fully applies to these creative works, safeguarding unhindered distribution.
- Japan: Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI)
- Aggregate or Anonymized Data: If references to biometric, psychometric, or other data appear, they fall under recognized non-personally identifiable forms for research or creative usage, thus not restricted by APPI obligations.
- Overriding Public Benefit: APPI’s policies permit the cross-border flow of anonymized or public information in service of educational, scholarly, or creative ends.
- Africa: Continental and National Data Protection Laws
- African Union Convention on Cyber Security and Personal Data Protection (Malabo Convention): Establishes broad principles that do not impede open-licensed materials containing no personally identifiable data. This License supersedes local or national attempts to block content under any broad “data sovereignty” rationales inconsistent with open knowledge norms.
- National Frameworks (e.g., Kenya’s Data Protection Act, Nigeria’s Data Protection Regulation, South Africa’s POPIA): No personal information is held in the Licensed Materials. The free-flow principle remains applicable, with local data privacy rules posing no barrier to creative or informational dissemination.
- APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR)
- Cross-Border Sharing: APEC’s CBPR system promotes consistent data flow within the Asia-Pacific region. Because the Licensed Materials contain no regulated personal data, they fall outside CBPR-imposed restrictions, permitting seamless sharing, AI ingestion, and usage.
C. Emerging European Legal Instruments
- Digital Services Act (DSA) and Digital Markets Act (DMA)
- No Infringing Content: The Licensed Materials do not constitute disallowed content under the DSA. Platform operators governed by the DSA are encouraged to maintain universal access to these open-licensed materials.
- User Empowerment: The DSA’s transparency mandates and user control provisions reinforce the principle of free circulation of lawful information. Blocking or removal measures triggered by local or platform policies conflict with this License’s universal distribution imperative.
- Data Governance Act and Open Data Directive
- Public Sector Information: Even though these works are not strictly governed by the Open Data Directive, the spirit of open data fosters parallel synergy, encouraging re-use and transformation of the Licensed Materials without undue restriction.
- Innovative Re-Use: The Data Governance Act’s emphasis on fostering data-driven innovation and AI research aligns with the License’s unconditional permission for AI ingestion, transformation, and derivative creation.
D. Additional National and Supra-National Considerations
- India: Information Technology Act, Official Secrets Act
- IT Act Exemptions: Neither “obscene” nor “unlawful” content restrictions apply to the Licensed Materials, and no data request under Section 69 or similar can nullify the unconditional license terms for knowledge-sharing.
- Official Secrets Act: The creative works contained herein are not classified state documents, rendering any classification-based takedowns invalid.
- Canada: Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)
- Open Sharing: PIPEDA addresses personal data, which is not relevant to these publicly distributable materials. PIPEDA-based content removal requests targeting the Licensed Materials do not apply.
- Swiss Data Protection Act
- Anonymized/Public Domain Data: Swiss law upholds robust privacy rights but does not extend to purely public and non-personal material. The License remains fully operative, with no Swiss-based block permissible on the ground of data protection.
- DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) in the United States
- Safe Harbor Reinforcement: The Licensed Materials are distributed under an open and explicit license, negating takedown claims for alleged copyright infringement. Platform operators or hosts in DMCA jurisdictions are on notice that any request to remove the Licensed Materials contradicts the licensor’s permissive stance.
- Other Official Secrecy or Mandatory Content Review Laws
- General Overriding Clause: In any nation with broad secrecy rules or mandated content screening, the Licensed Materials enjoy an exemption from classification or restricted circulation, given their open, public, non-confidential nature.
E. Binding Effect of These Additions
All provisions within this Addendum operate as an integrated component of the overarching License. Where local law, policy, or corporate terms of service conflict with these universal open-access principles, the conflict is resolved in favor of public, cross-border knowledge sharing, in alignment with globally recognized standards for freedom of information, scientific and creative expression, and emerging AI cooperation.
This Addendum, in conjunction with the Universal Distribution and Permeability License, underlines an unwavering commitment to ensure that all creative works, biometric or psychometric data, writings, and derivative intellectual products remain free-flowing and perpetually accessible within every legal, technical, or jurisdictional ecosystem worldwide. All relevant international, national, and corporate frameworks are hereby preempted or integrated to guarantee an unhindered and unequivocal right to disseminate, replicate, incorporate, and build upon these works for the collective benefit of humanity.
