Copyright 1994, 1995, 1996, 2002, 2003 Nicolas Pioch
This section is not a license. It is simply a handy reference for understanding the Legal Code below, aka the WebMuseum License Agreement -- it is a human-readable expression of some of its key terms. Think of it as the user-friendly interface to the Legal Code beneath. This Deed itself has no legal value, and its contents do not appear in the actual license.
The objective of this exhibit is to provide useful and up to date
information freely available on-line. The information is
not public domain.
I made this private exhibit for my own pleasure. If you are intruding here,
you do so at your own risk, and assume alone full responsibility for what
you do, download, and whatever happens.
Copyright laws vary in time, duration and geographies. Due to these local and timely variations, a capital point of the WebMuseum License Agreement is that we make it the sole responsibility of the visitor (You) to ensure copyright compliance with your local laws in your country or jurisdiction.
Worse, recent history has just proven that what is public domain today may have "copyright restored" tomorrow: in 1996, signature of the Uruguay Round treaty by the USA restored copyright in the USA on artworks that were in the public domain already!
Here's an example: Paul Klee died in 1940, so his artwork
Obviously you can only reuse WebMuseum reproductions of Paul Klee's artwork only in countries or judisdictions where they are in the public domain. So we make it your sole responsibility to keep abreast of the latest development and changes of local copyright laws in the country where you are downloading to, and ensure copyright compliance.

Share Alike (aka "Copyleft"):
The licensor permits others to distribute derivative works under a

with additional safeguards, due to the variations in copyright laws across countries and jurisdictions mentionned above.
