The author(s) and copyright holder(s) grant to all users a free, irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual right of access to, and a licence to copy, use, distribute, transmit and display the work publicly. This includes the right to make and distribute derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible purpose, subject to proper attribution of authorship.

It allows users to redistribute the work, create derivatives such as a translation, and use the publication for commercial activities, provided appropriate credit is given to the author and any changes are clearly indicated.

The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as users follow the licence terms. Full details of the licence are available at creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0.
Users must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the licence, and indicate if changes were made. Users may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses them or their use.
