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.

No default rule of that graph reaches this license: it speaks about every act the rules are about.

Further terms

These are the things the license says about itself beyond the acts it permits, forbids and requires: when it ends, how long there is to put a breach right, which law governs it, and so on. A term that comes from the DALICC vocabulary links to its definition.

Findings
22 recorded, 4 applied to the record, 1 proposed, 1 settled in a later version

The record models the BY-NC element set of the Creative Commons 3.0 port for Poland and it does so correctly: the NonCommercial element prohibits cc:CommercialUse, the attribution and notice duties hang on the acts that make the work public. The legal text was read in Polish and the permissions, prohibitions and duties all follow from the grant and restriction sections of the port. Corrections applied: dct:source, dcmitype:Dataset in odrl:target, which the database rights clause of this port supports expressly. What remains are proposals that touch the whole Creative Commons family rather than this record: the express prohibition of sublicensing.

21 findings
  • minor Rubric 1 dct:source applied

    The record carried cc:legalcode but no dct:source. The legal-code page states the canonical URL of the licence, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/pl/, and the six 4.0 International parents carry exactly that pair (legal code plus deed). Added.

  • info Rubric 1 spdx:licenseId none

    SPDX has no identifier for this port. The legal-code URL implies CC-BY-NC-3.0-PL, which the SPDX licence list does not define: of the ported 3.0 licences SPDX knows only the Austrian, Australian, German, Dutch, United States and IGO ones. No identifier was invented, and none of the forty two records in this review group carries one.

  • minor Rubric 2 odrl:target applied

    The record targeted dalicc:CreativeWork alone, while the 4.0 International parent CC-BY-NC-4.0 targets dalicc:CreativeWork and dcmitype:Dataset. This port licenses database rights expressly. Paragraph 3 lists "Pobieranie danych z Utworu oraz ich wtórne wykorzystanie" (extraction of data from the work and its re-utilisation) as one of the fields of exploitation granted, and the paragraph closes with the licensor waiving the sui generis right under the law implementing Directive 96/9/EC of 11 March 1996: "Licencjodawca zrzeka się tego prawa", with an undertaking not to exercise it where the waiver is ineffective. Paragraph 4(e) adds that the restrictions in 4(a) to 4(d) do not apply to a work, or a part of one, that is a work under this licence only because it is a database that is not itself an authored work. Because the grant of the database right is explicit in the text, dcmitype:Dataset was added rather than proposed.

  • info Rubric 3 odrl:permission none

    The grant supports the modelled permissions. "Licencjodawca udziela niniejszym Licencjobiorcy nieodpłatnej i niewyłącznej licencji na korzystanie z Utworu na terytorium całego świata, na czas nieoznaczony (do momentu wygaśnięcia praw autorskich)" (paragraph 3), listed as fields of exploitation in the Polish manner. The record models the grant as odrl:reproduce, odrl:distribute, odrl:display, odrl:present, odrl:derive, odrl:modify, cc:DerivativeWorks, and dalicc:ModifiedWorks for alterations short of a new derivative work.

  • minor Rubric 3 odrl:permission proposed

    The record permits dalicc:chargeDistributionFee while prohibiting cc:CommercialUse. The NonCommercial restriction of this port forbids exercising the granted rights in a way primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation, and the vocabulary defines dalicc:chargeDistributionFee narrowly, as a fee covering the act of providing the work to a third party, so a pure cost recovery fee is arguable but the statement sits uneasily next to the prohibition. The same statement is in the 4.0 International parent CC-BY-NC-4.0 and in all one hundred and forty five NonCommercial records of the library, so removing it is one library wide decision, not a defect of this port.

  • info Rubric 4 odrl:prohibition none

    dalicc:ChangeLicense is prohibited, which the licence supports: the work may be distributed or publicly performed only under the terms of this licence and the licensee may not offer or impose terms that restrict it. dalicc:promote is prohibited, which in a 3.0 port rests on an express sentence of the attribution clause: the licensee may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply any connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by the original author, the licensor or the attribution parties without their separate prior written permission. That is firmer support than the 2.0 ports have, where the same prohibition rested on the reservation of unnamed rights and on the trademark paragraph of the Creative Commons notice.

  • info Rubric 4 odrl:prohibition none

    cc:CommercialUse is prohibited, which the NonCommercial restriction of this port supports: the licensee may not exercise the granted rights in a way primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation, and the exchange of the work for other copyrighted works by digital file sharing is not treated as such a use as long as no monetary compensation changes hands.

  • info Rubric 5 odrl:duty none

    The attribution and notice duties are present and supported: the licence requires a copy of, or the URI for, the licence with every copy distributed or publicly performed, that all notices referring to the licence and to the warranty disclaimer be kept intact, and that credit be given with the name of the author or pseudonym, the title of the work, the URI the licensor associates with it and, for an adaptation, a credit identifying the use made of the work. In this port the parties are the "Licencjodawca" (licensor) and the "Licencjobiorca" (licensee), and credit is owed to the "Tworca" (author) by name or pseudonym, with the title of the work and the URI. The duties hang on odrl:distribute, odrl:modify and odrl:derive, which matches the licence, since they are triggered by making the work public rather than by private use.

  • info Rubric 5 odrl:duty none

    dalicc:modificationNotice is attached to odrl:modify and odrl:derive and the text supports it directly: the grant of the adaptation right is conditional on the adaptation taking reasonable steps to label, demarcate or otherwise identify that changes were made to the original work, with the translation example given in the port language.

  • info Rubric 6 dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer none

    dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer and dalicc:LiabilityLimitation each hold their own clause and nothing else: the disclaimer field carries the disclaimer section of this port and the liability field carries the limitation of liability section, both quoted from the Polish text of the port and not from the English unported version, and both checked word for word against the legal code.

  • info Rubric 6 dalicc:additionalClauses none

    The record has no dalicc:additionalClauses, so the clauses the ODRL policy cannot carry are not visible in the record at all: the reservation of rights not expressly granted, the downstream offer to every recipient, the automatic termination on breach with the survival of the named sections, and the severability, waiver and entire agreement paragraphs. The whole Creative Commons family is modelled this way.

  • info Rubric 7 cc:jurisdiction none

    cc:jurisdiction is bpicounty:Poland, which matches the country of the legal-code URL https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/pl/legalcode, and dalicc:validityType is dalicc:perpetual, which matches a grant made for the duration of the applicable copyright. Note that the jurisdiction field records the legal home of the port, not a territorial limit: the grant itself is worldwide. The Polish port carries no choice of law clause: paragraph 8 ends with severability, waiver and entire agreement and names no governing law.

  • gap Rubric 8 odrl:prohibition none

    The licence forbids technological protection measures and the vocabulary has no term for it. The clause is in paragraph 4(a): "Licencjobiorca nie ma prawa stosować żadnych skutecznych zabezpieczeń technicznych w stosunku do Utworu, ograniczających możliwość wykonywania praw wynikających z Licencji". Proposed term: dalicc:applyTechnicalProtectionMeasures, an odrl:Action to be used as an odrl:Prohibition. Not modelled, because bending an existing term would be worse than the gap.

  • gap Rubric 8 record none

    Three clauses of every 3.0 port have no vocabulary term. The automatic termination of the licence on breach, with the survival of the definitions, the disclaimer, the limitation of liability and the miscellaneous sections: proposed term dalicc:terminationOnBreach. The direct offer the licensor makes to every recipient of the work or of an adaptation, on the same terms: proposed term dalicc:downstreamOffer. The reservation of all rights not expressly granted: no term either.

  • gap Rubric 8 record none

    Moral rights have no vocabulary term, in either direction: a clause that restricts the licensee, and a clause that leaves the author personal rights untouched by the licence. Paragraph 4(g) leaves them to the statute: "Niniejsza licencja nie narusza praw osobistych Twórcy ani Licencjodawcy w zakresie, w jakim prawa te są chronione przez prawo właściwe". This is a change from the 2.0 Polish port, which said nothing about moral rights at all. Proposed terms: dalicc:moralRightsRestriction and dalicc:moralRightsNonAssertion.

  • info Rubric 8 record none

    The royalty collection arrangements are not expressible either, and they are the clause that differs most between the ports of one version. Paragraph 4(f) splits the royalty question in three, in the terms of Polish law: a non waivable remuneration right and compulsory intermediation are reserved without limit; a transferable statutory licence remuneration right, waivable compulsory intermediation and the presumption that a third party may act for the licensor are reserved for uses other than the non commercial use allowed by paragraph 4(c) and waived otherwise; and contractual remuneration through an "organizacja zbiorowego zarzadzania" is reserved for the same non non-commercial uses.

  • gap Rubric 8 record none

    The sui generis database right is now visible in the record only through dcmitype:Dataset in odrl:target. The two statements the port actually makes about it, that the licensor waives its own database producer right, and that the restrictions of the licence do not apply to the part of the work protected by that right alone, have no vocabulary term. Proposed terms: dalicc:databaseRightsWaiver and dalicc:databaseRightsCarveOut.

  • info Rubric 9 record none

    The consistency check with the forty one axioms of licensedata/dependencygraph/dg_default.ttl reports no conflict, before and after the corrections, and the pre-review baseline listed none for this record either.

  • info Rubric 10 record none

    Port of Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC-BY-NC-4.0). The deontic model of this record is identical to the parent, statement for statement: the same permissions with the same duties attached, the same prohibitions and the same set level duties, and, after the correction above, the same odrl:target. What differs is the jurisdiction, the language of the legal text and the clause texts quoted from it, and the version specific clauses of 3.0 that the model does not carry, chiefly the express prohibition of sublicensing, the technological measures clause, the moral rights clause and the royalty collection arrangements. The compatibility checker cannot tell this record from the other records of the BY-NC element set, across all three versions and every jurisdiction the library holds.

  • major Rubric 3 odrl:permission applied

    The record said nothing about the sui generis database right although the port's own text settles it, which the rubric 2 finding of this review read off the legal code: Paragraph 3 lists "Pobieranie danych z Utworu oraz ich wtórne wykorzystanie" among the fields of exploitation granted and closes with the licensor waiving the sui generis right under the law implementing Directive 96/9/EC, "Licencjodawca zrzeka się tego prawa", and Paragraph 4(e) adds that the restrictions in 4(a) to 4(d) do not apply to a work, or a part of one, that is a work under this licence only because it is a database that is not itself an authored work. Exercising that right is therefore permitted by this licence and dalicc:suiGenerisDatabaseRights is now a permission of the record. It carries no duty, which is where the 3.0 ports part company with the 4.0 text their parent CC-BY-NC-4.0 models: Section 4(c) of 4.0 carries the conditions of Section 3(a) over to the database layer, while this port takes its own restrictions off the material that qualifies only under the database right. Under the proposed default rule eu-sui-generis-db of licensedata/dependencygraph/dg_eu.ttl the database right is not granted unless the licence grants it, so a record that is silent reads as a licence that keeps the right back, which this text contradicts.

  • major Rubric 7 dalicc:terminatesOnBreach applied

    The termination clause of this port reads: "Licencja automatycznie wygasa w przypadku jakiegokolwiek jej naruszenia przez Licencjobiorcę." The licence ends automatically on a breach and this version of the text has no reinstatement clause, so dalicc:terminatesOnBreach is true and no dalicc:curePeriod is written, as on the unported record of the same version.

Settled in version 2 (1)
  • settled odrl:prohibition

    The licence forbids sublicensing and the record does not say so. "Licencjobiorca nie może udzielać sublicencji." (paragraph 4(a)). The vocabulary already has dalicc:sublicense, but it is used by no record in the library and its skos:note says so, and the same sentence stands in every Creative Commons 2.0 and 3.0 record, so adding it to this review group alone would split the compatibility behaviour of one family. Proposed as one library wide correction, together with an update of the vocabulary note.

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 added 1 identification detail and 1 prohibition, changed 1 asset target, recorded the relation to the record this one was adapted from and recorded the review state. Later changes recorded what the text says about the database right, recorded when the license ends on a breach and named the license the record itself is published under.

    • changed target asset types [dalicc:CreativeWork, dcmitype:Dataset]

      was target asset types [dalicc:CreativeWork]

      Review finding The record targeted dalicc:CreativeWork alone, while the 4.0 International parent CC-BY-NC-4.0 targets dalicc:CreativeWork and dcmitype:Dataset. This port licenses database rights expressly. Paragraph 3 lists "Pobieranie danych z Utworu oraz ich wtórne wykorzystanie" (extraction of data from the work and its re-utilisation) as one of the fields of exploitation granted, and the paragraph closes with the licensor waiving the sui generis right under the law implementing Directive 96/9/EC of 11 March 1996: "Licencjodawca zrzeka się tego prawa", with an undertaking not to exercise it where the waiver is ineffective. Paragraph 4(e) adds that the restrictions in 4(a) to 4(d) do not apply to a work, or a part of one, that is a work under this licence only because it is a database that is not itself an authored work. Because the grant of the database right is explicit in the text, dcmitype:Dataset was added rather than proposed.

    • added permission dalicc:suiGenerisDatabaseRights

      Manual edit The port settles the sui generis database right in its own text: Paragraph 3 lists "Pobieranie danych z Utworu oraz ich wtórne wykorzystanie" among the fields of exploitation granted and closes with the licensor waiving the sui generis right under the law implementing Directive 96/9/EC, "Licencjodawca zrzeka się tego prawa". dalicc:suiGenerisDatabaseRights is now permitted, and it carries no duty because Paragraph 4(e) adds that the restrictions in 4(a) to 4(d) do not apply to a work, or a part of one, that is a work under this licence only because it is a database that is not itself an authored work.

    • added dalicc:terminatesOnBreach "true"^^xsd:boolean

      Manual edit The termination clause of this port reads: "Licencja automatycznie wygasa w przypadku jakiegokolwiek jej naruszenia przez Licencjobiorcę."

    • 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.
