# Version 1 of the dg_us dependency graph, 2026-09-23. Reviewer: Giray Havur.
#
# United States default rules (proposal)
#
# This graph holds default rules only and no axioms of its own: it names the core graph
# with dalicc:extendsGraph, so a check under it sees the 46 curated axioms, the adopted
# endorsement rule and the rules below. Every rule below is dalicc:Proposed. A proposed
# rule takes part in a check only when a reader chooses this graph, which is the reader's
# request to see what the rule would do.
#
# NOTHING IN THIS FILE IS LEGAL ADVICE. Each rule names the statute or the principle it
# rests on so that a reader can check it, and each one is a proposal for the association's
# legal reviewer, who decides whether it is adopted. What a licence means is decided by
# its text, and what the law of a country requires is decided by that country's courts.
#
# Two things the action layer cannot carry, and therefore does not: implied warranties
# and the consumer rules that go with them, which bind the parties rather than describe
# an act the licensee may do; and the reservation a rightholder may make against
# commercial mining, which is a fact about one work rather than a statement of a licence.

    dct:description """The core graph plus the default rules proposed for the United States: reverse engineering for interoperability and the first-sale doctrine. There is no general moral-rights rule and no mining rule, because the first reaches only works of visual art and the second is fair use decided case by case. Every rule is a proposal for the association's legal reviewer. Nothing in it is legal advice."""@en ;
