Prohibitions

This license states no prohibitions.

License-wide duties

This license states no duties that apply to the work as a whole.

What applies by default

The statements above are the library's reading of this license: each is marked with the sentence it rests on, or as a library convention where the text is not explicit. The statements below are the ones the DALICC reasoner supplies for acts the license says nothing about, from the default rules of the dependency graph it reasons with. Each one names the legal source it rests on. None of it is in the record.

Promote by default rule (adopted)

This license says nothing about Promote, and the graph applies this reading in all jurisdictions it covers: it is not permitted unless the license permits it.

A licence that says nothing about endorsement is read as not allowing it: the licence gives the licensee no right to use the licensor's name or marks in a way that states or implies that the licensor endorses the licensee or its product, while stating truthfully that a work is based on or uses the licensed work is a different act that this rule does not decide. A copyright licence grants rights in the work, and the right to use a name or a trademark is a separate right under trademark law and the protection of names, which a silent copyright licence does not pass on. Combining a licence that is silent about endorsement with one that permits it shows a conflict marked as coming from this rule.

Basis Trademark and name rights are separate from copyright: Regulation (EU) 2017/1001 article 9 lets the proprietor of an EU trade mark prevent all third parties not having his consent from using the sign in the course of trade, and Directive (EU) 2015/2436 article 10, 15 U.S.C. 1114 and 1125(a), section 12 BGB and section 43 ABGB protect marks and names in the same way. The library's evidence is Creative Commons 4.0 section 2(b)(2): Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License. A copyright licence that is silent grants no right to use the licensor's name or marks to suggest endorsement (Worldwide)

Review

Written from the license text by: Giray Havur
Written on: 2026-09-15
Second review: not yet done
Record changed since this review: yes (version 2, 2026-09-24)
Findings: 11 recorded, 8 applied to the record, 0 proposed

The licence of the ALGLIB Reference Manual: two-clause BSD written for a document, with the retention of the copyright notice, the condition itself and the disclaimer as the first or last lines of the file as its only requirement. The record follows the BSD records of review group 3 and takes its asset types from GnuFreeDocumentationLicense. Nothing here is legal advice.

11 findings

minor Rubric 1 cc:legalcode applied

The SPDX entry for this licence carries no seeAlso URL, so cc:legalcode and dct:source both name the SPDX reference page. Every other record in this review group points cc:legalcode at the licensor's own copy.
info Rubric 2 odrl:target applied

The licensed work is a document, the ALGLIB Reference Manual, that documents a software library, so the record carries dalicc:CreativeWork and dcmitype:Software, the pair GnuFreeDocumentationLicense uses.
major Rubric 3 odrl:permission applied

The grant reads: "Redistribution and use of this document (ALGLIB Reference Manual) with or without modification, are permitted provided that such redistributions will retain the above copyright notice, this condition and the following disclaimer as the first (or last) lines of this file." That is the permissive base set: reproduce, distribute, modify, derive, display, present, commercial use, derivative works, modified works and the distribution fee.
minor Rubric 4 odrl:prohibition applied

Only dalicc:ChangeLicense, because the condition itself must travel with every redistribution, the reading BSD-1-Clause and the other BSD records carry. There is no trademark clause, no patent clause and no endorsement clause, so nothing else is prohibited.
major Rubric 5 odrl:duty applied

One sentence carries all the duties: the copyright notice (cc:Attribution), the condition (cc:Notice) and the disclaimer (dalicc:noWarrantyNotice) must be retained as the first or last lines of the file. They hang on odrl:distribute, odrl:modify and odrl:derive, because the sentence covers redistribution "with or without modification".
minor Rubric 6 dalicc:additionalClauses applied

The disclaimer paragraph is split at "IN NO EVENT SHALL" into dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer and dalicc:LiabilityLimitation. dalicc:additionalClauses carries the copyright line and the redistribution condition, which is the whole of the operative text.
info Rubric 7 cc:jurisdiction applied

The text names no governing law and no term, so cc:jurisdiction is dalicc:worldwide and dalicc:validityType is dalicc:perpetual.
info Rubric 8 vocabulary none

No gap: every clause of this licence has a term. The requirement that the notice sit in the first or last lines of the file is a placement rule, which no record in the library expresses and which the quoted clause carries.
info Rubric 9 record none

The consistency check of app.services.composer with the axioms of dg_default returned an empty list for this record.
info Rubric 10 family none

The only documentation licence of the review group. Its nearest relatives in the library are the BSD records rather than GnuFreeDocumentationLicense, which is a copyleft licence with invariant sections; only the asset types are taken from there.
major Rubric 3 odrl:permission applied

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 earlier reading wrote is removed. The text reads: "Redistribution and use of this document (ALGLIB Reference Manual) with or without modification, are permitted provided that such redistributions will retain the above copyright notice, this condition and the following disclaimer as the first (or last) lines of this file." The permission carries the dalicc:compliantLicense duty, as Apache-2.0 does, because the notice has to survive the relicensing.

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.
