History

This license model has 2 versions. Version 2 is the one served today; every earlier version keeps its own address, so a conclusion drawn from one of them can still be checked against it.

  1. Version 2 current2026-09-24 Giray Havur

    The content review of 2026-09-15 removed 1 prohibition, recorded the relation to the record this one was adapted from and recorded the review state. Later changes brought it in line with its family and its text in the verification of 2026-09-15, permitted relicensing with the notice as a duty, left endorsement to the default rule of the core dependency graph, recorded which sentence of the text each statement rests on and named the license the record itself is published under.

    • added dalicc:reviewStatus dalicc:Reviewed

      Review state Every record records how far it has come in the editorial workflow and when it was last checked against the legal text.

    • added dalicc:reviewedOn "2026-09-15"^^xsd:date

      Review state Every record records how far it has come in the editorial workflow and when it was last checked against the legal text.

    • added dalicc:variantKind "version"

      Port relation The 2026-09-15 review made the relation between a jurisdiction port and the record it was adapted from explicit in the data.

    • removed prohibition cc:ShareAlike

      Review finding The text reads in full: "Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted." A prohibition of cc:ShareAlike asserts that a licensee may not put the work out under these same terms, which the unconditional grant contradicts. cc:ShareAlike is a duty term; a license that is silent about relicensing must carry no share-alike statement at all. Removed. Flagged by the family conventions checked before the review.

    • removed cc:attributionName "- not specified - "

      Manual edit The review's finding on family consistency: the record permitted dalicc:noWarrantyNotice and prohibited dalicc:addStatement, neither of which the Zero Clause BSD text states, and carried the placeholder '- not specified - ' as its publisher and attribution name. The whole operative text is 'Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted.' The disclaimer paragraph is split at 'IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE'.

    • added dalicc:LiabilityLimitation "IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE."

    • removed prohibition dalicc:addStatement

The whole operative text is 'Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted.' The disclaimer paragraph is split at 'IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE'.

    • added permission dalicc:ChangeLicense

      Manual edit Permit relicensing on permissive licences; the notice clause is a duty, not a bar. Library convention 15: a licence that asks for no reciprocity and no source code asks only that the notice travels with the copy, which is a duty on the acts it governs and not a bar on putting the copy under other terms. dalicc:ChangeLicense is therefore a permission here, and the prohibition the record carried before is removed. The text reads: "Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted." The permission carries no duty, as on the public-domain dedications, because nothing has to travel with the copy.

    • removed prohibition dalicc:promote

      Manual edit The endorsement prohibition rested on no sentence of the text; the default rule for endorsement now supplies it.

    • changed permission dalicc:ChangeLicense

      was permission dalicc:ChangeLicense

      Manual edit The statement is marked as a library convention, family rule 15: Permissive records permit relicensing: the text does not state it in as many words.

    • added dct:license <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/>

      Manual edit Every record is published under CC BY 4.0. cc:license names the record DALICC keeps of that licence; dct:license now names it by the address Creative Commons publishes it at, so that a consumer matching the canonical IRI finds it.

  2. Version 1

    The version this model had before the content review of 2026-09-15.

Every change names the reason behind it: a finding of the content review, one of its library-wide decisions, the metadata that review wrote onto every record, or a hand edit. None of it is legal advice.

Nothing on this page is legal advice. What a license means is decided by its text; ask a legal advisor before you rely on it.
