The Work is Everyone's Work - Use it Freely

You can do whatever you want with the work.

The work's authors give all their rights to the work to everyone. This means you can:

You can do all of these things for free. You don't have to follow any rules or include any notices.

We Also Give Everyone a License Without Restrictions

In places that follow copyright laws, we give up all our rights to the work. Everyone can use it freely, and with no benefit to us or our children. We give up all rights permanently. We want everyone to know we give up our rights to the work now and forever.

You can Change the License

You can share the work under any other license. This includes "copyleft" licenses (like the GPL) and "proprietary" licenses (where you keep all rights).

We Offer No Promises

We give you the work as it is, with no promises or guarantees.

The Plain Unlicense is a plain language version of the The Unlicense. We wrote it to make the The Unlicense more accessible and understandable. We tried to match the The Unlicense's legal intent. We didn't intend any differences in meaning. If you are using the Plain Unlicense in a legal situation and find any parts of this dedication unclear, you should clarify with the original The Unlicense.

If a court finds that any part of this dedication can't be enforced, the rest of the dedication terms still apply.
