License to Lakehead University

In order to facilitate research by others at Lakehead University (the "University") and elsewhere, and in partial fulfillment of the University's degree requirements, I hereby grant a worldwide non-exclusive royalty-free licence to the University, for the term of copyright protection of the Thesis, to make copies of, convert, archive and distribute the Thesis, including descriptive information, metadata and the abstract, in any format and in any medium for non-commercial purposes. The University may sub-license these rights to a third party. For greater certainty, and without limiting the generality of the forgoing, the University and/or its sub-licencees may publish the Thesis electronically on the Internet, distribute the Thesis through library loan, interlibrary loan and public loan and may digitize, photocopy, microfiche or otherwise reproduce the Thesis.  

I confirm that the Thesis is my original work, does not infringe the rights of others and that I have the right and authority to make the grant conferred by this non-exclusive licence.  If third-party copyrighted material not in the public domain is included in the Thesis, I assert that either:
a)  such use complies with the "fair dealing" provisions of the Copyright Act (Canada), or;
b)  I have obtained written permission from the copyright holder(s) to include that material in the Thesis.

I promise to inform any person to whom I may hereafter assign or license the copyright in the Thesis of the rights granted by me to the University in this licence.  

For greater certainty, this licence shall in no way preclude me from granting non-exclusive licences to other third parties, or assigning any or all of my copyright in the Thesis to a third party (provided such assignment is subject to this licence), or waiving my moral rights in the Thesis.
