3. Intent
      The purpose of this license is to preserve the integrity of the Author’s message, their
      intent, the rights, and the context of the Author’s protected Work.

      This license SHOULD NOT be interpreted as a means of shielding the Author or the Work
      from criticism, parody, satire, or other protected speech.

      The abuse thereof would constitute an UNAUTHORIZED REMIX of these terms (this document
      is recursively licensed) and would result in a nullification of Author’s right to apply
      these terms to their own Work.

      (See Section 2.2 Derivative Works)

4. Licensing
      The terms of this license apply to ALL Derivatives of this Work. Any Creative who makes a
      Derivative Work using the Original Content—or who Redistributes the Work—agrees to be
      bound by the terms laid out in this license.

      Failure to comply with these terms will result in the non-compliant Creative having their
      license to use the Work rescinded, past and future licenses from the same non-compliant
      Author nullified (at the original Author’s discretion), and possible legal action taken on
      behalf of the original Author.
