Original Author credit reasonable to the medium or means You are |
utilizing by conveying the name (or pseudonym if applicable) of |
the Original Author if supplied; the title of the Work if |
supplied. Such credit may be implemented in any reasonable |
manner; provided, however, that in the case of a Collective Work, |
at a minimum such credit will appear where any other comparable |
authorship credit appears and in a manner at least as prominent |
as such other comparable authorship credit. |
5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer |
a. By offering the Work for public release under this License, |
Licensor represents and warrants that, to the best of Licensor's |
knowledge after reasonable inquiry: |
i. Licensor has secured all rights in the Work necessary to grant |
the license rights hereunder and to permit the lawful exercise of |
the rights granted hereunder without You having any obligation to |
pay any royalties, compulsory license fees, residuals or any |
other payments; |
ii. The Work does not infringe the copyright, trademark, |
publicity rights, common law rights or any other right of any |
third party or constitute defamation, invasion of privacy or |
other tortious injury to any third party. |
b. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS LICENSE OR OTHERWISE AGREED |
IN WRITING OR REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE WORK IS LICENSED ON |
AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS |
OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES |
REGARDING THE CONTENTS OR ACCURACY OF THE WORK. |
6. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY |
APPLICABLE LAW, AND EXCEPT FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM LIABILITY TO |
A THIRD PARTY RESULTING FROM BREACH OF THE WARRANTIES IN SECTION |
5, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY |
FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY |
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN |
IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
7. Termination |
a. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate |
automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this |
License. Individuals or entities who have received Collective |
Works from You under this License, however, will not have their |
licenses terminated provided such individuals or entities remain |
in full compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, |
and 8 will survive any termination of this License. |
b. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted |
here is perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright |
in the Work). Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the |
right to release the Work under different license terms or to |
stop distributing the Work at any time; provided, however that |
any such election will not serve to withdraw this License (or any |
other license that has been, or is required to be, granted under |
the terms of this License), and this License will continue in |
full force and effect unless terminated as stated above. |
8. Miscellaneous |
a. Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform the |
Work or a Collective Work, the Licensor offers to the recipient a |
license to the Work on the same terms and conditions as the |
license granted to You under this License. |
b. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable |
under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or |
enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this License, and |
without further action by the parties to this agreement, such |
provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to |
make such provision valid and enforceable. |
c. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived |
and no breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be |
in writing and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver |
or consent. |
d. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the |
parties with respect to the Work licensed here. There are no |
understandings, agreements or representations with respect to the |
Work not specified here. Licensor shall not be bound by any |
additional provisions that may appear in any communication from |
You. This License may not be modified without the mutual written |
agreement of the Licensor and You. |

PROLOGUE |
======== |
I lived long enough to see the cure for death; to see the rise of the Bitchun Society, to learn ten languages; to compose three symphonies; to realize my boyhood dream of taking up residence in Disney World; to see the death of the workplace and of work. |
I never thought I'd live to see the day when Keep A-Movin' Dan would decide to deadhead until the heat death of the Universe. |
Dan was in his second or third blush of youth when I first met him, sometime late-XXI. He was a rangy cowpoke, apparent 25 or so, all rawhide squint-lines and sunburned neck, boots worn thin and infinitely comfortable. I was in the middle of my Chem thesis, my fourth Doctorate, and he was taking a break from Saving the... |
Some duration into my foray, he cocked his head at me and raised a sun-bleached eyebrow. "You get any closer, son, and we're going to have to get a pre-nup." |
