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.
Clauses
Warranty disclaimer
UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Limitation of liability
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Additional clauses
The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in other media and formats, but otherwise you have no rights to make Adaptations.

- Findings
- 14 recorded, 10 applied to the record, 1 proposed
The record models the BY-NC-ND element set of the Creative Commons 3.0 unported legal code, the text the library's 3.0 jurisdiction ports were adapted from. The deontic model is the one the 4.0 record of the same element set and all of its ports use, so a compatibility answer for this record matches theirs; what the text adds over 4.0, and what it lacks, is quoted in dalicc:additionalClauses and set out in the findings. Nothing here is legal advice.

info Rubric 1
spdx:licenseIdappliedThe file name, the local name of the odrl:Set IRI, the SPDX identifier and the id of this review record are all CC-BY-NC-ND-3.0. The text modelled is the plain text the SPDX license list publishes for that identifier. cc:legalcode points at the legal code page of the licence and dct:source at its deed, which is the pair every Creative Commons record in the library carries.
-
minor Rubric 2
odrl:targetappliedodrl:target carries dalicc:CreativeWork and dcmitype:Dataset. The 3.0 text is the first of the unported line to name data in the definition of the Work: Section 1(f) includes "a compilation of data to the extent it is protected as a copyrightable work". There is no sui generis database right clause in this text, so the dataset type rests on that sentence alone and not on a database right the licence licenses or waives. The 3.0 jurisdiction ports in the library carry the same pair.
-
major Rubric 3
odrl:permissionappliedSection 3 grants "to Reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more Collections, and to Reproduce the Work as incorporated in the Collections" and "to Distribute and Publicly Perform the Work including as incorporated in Collections", which are odrl:reproduce, odrl:distribute, odrl:display and odrl:present. cc:CommercialUse is not permitted, because the NonCommercial element bars it; see the prohibitions. dalicc:chargeDistributionFee is permitted: the licence says nothing about a fee for handing a copy over, and every Creative Commons record in the library reads that silence the same way.
-
major Rubric 4
odrl:prohibitionapplieddalicc:sublicense, from "You may not sublicense the Work.", which this text states in as many words; this is consolidation decision 1 of the 2026-09-15 review and the validator enforces it. dalicc:ChangeLicense, from "You may Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work only under the terms of this License". dalicc:promote. The endorsement bar sits in the licence body of the 3.0 text: "by exercising Your rights under this License, You may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply any connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties, as appropriate, of You or Your use of the Work, without the separate, express prior written permission of the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties". odrl:derive is prohibited and neither odrl:modify nor dalicc:ModifiedWorks is permitted, because Section 3 grants no right to adapt and closes with "but otherwise you have no rights to make Adaptations". That is consolidation decision 2 of the 2026-09-15 review. cc:CommercialUse is prohibited, from "You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3 above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation."
-
major Rubric 5
odrl:dutyappliedcc:Notice and cc:Attribution hang on odrl:distribute, from "You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for, this License with every copy of the Work You Distribute or Publicly Perform" and "You must, unless a request has been made pursuant to Section 4(a), keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and provide, reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing". The duties hang on the acts that share the work with the public rather than on the licence as a whole, which is how the whole Creative Commons family is modelled.
-
minor Rubric 6
dalicc:additionalClausesapplieddalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer and dalicc:LiabilityLimitation are quoted verbatim and each holds its own clause: the disclaimer is Section 5 and the limitation is Section 6, and the wording of both moves a little from version to version, so neither is copied from the 4.0 record. dalicc:additionalClauses carries the clauses the ODRL policy cannot express, in the order the licence states them. They are the sentence that withholds the right to adapt, the non-commercial test with its file-sharing proviso, the royalty and collecting-society clause, the moral rights clause, the termination clause, the direct licence every recipient receives from the licensor. The 4.0 records and the 287 jurisdiction ports carry no dalicc:additionalClauses at all, so this record shows more of its text than its siblings do.
-
info Rubric 7
cc:jurisdictionappliedcc:jurisdiction is dalicc:worldwide. This is the unported text, not a jurisdiction port: it names no country and no governing law, and the grant itself is "worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright)", so dalicc:validityType is dalicc:perpetual. dalicc:terminatesOnBreach is true, from "This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License." There is no cure period and no reinstatement, which is where this text differs from 4.0; dalicc:curePeriod is therefore absent.
-
gap Rubric 8
dalicc:additionalClausesnoneThe licence makes the licensee take the credit down again on request: "If You create a Collection, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Collection any credit as required by Section 4(c), as requested". No vocabulary term can say that. Proposed term: dalicc:creditRemovalOnRequest, a duty action on the acts that carry cc:Attribution. The clause is quoted instead.
-
info Rubric 8
odrl:prohibitionproposedThree clauses of this text have a vocabulary term that no Creative Commons record uses: the technological measures bar (dalicc:applyTechnicalProtectionMeasures, used on two records in the library), the bar on offering or imposing further terms (dalicc:addLimitation) and the direct licence the recipient receives (dalicc:downstreamOffer, used nowhere). Adding them to the records of this set alone would split the compatibility behaviour of a family of 305 records, so they are quoted or left to the prohibition of dalicc:ChangeLicense, and proposed as one library-wide change. The royalty clause and the moral rights clause are different: they have a term of their own and this record states them, dalicc:royaltyCollectionReserved where the text reserves royalties and dalicc:moralRightsRestriction on every record of version 3.0.

info Rubric 10
familynoneThe nearest sibling is CC-BY-NC-ND-4.0, the 4.0 International record of the same element set, and the deontic model here is identical to it, statement for statement, as it is on every jurisdiction port of this element set. What differs: the 3.0 text has no sui generis database rights section, no cure period and no automatic reinstatement after a breach. dalicc:variantKind is "version" and dalicc:licenseVersion is "3.0", the two predicates the library already uses to say that a record models an earlier text of a licence it also holds. There is no dalicc:jurisdictionPortOf and no country: this is the unported original the ports were adapted from, not a port.
-
major Rubric 4
odrl:prohibitionappliedSection 4 of every 3.0 unported text binds the licensee to the author's honour and reputation: "You must not distort, mutilate, modify or take other derogatory action in relation to the Work which would be prejudicial to the Original Author's honor or reputation." The record states it as a prohibition of dalicc:moralRightsRestriction, which the vocabulary defines for exactly that. Every 3.0 record of this addition states it and no 1.0, 2.0 or 2.5 record does, because the clause arrived with version 3.0.
-
major Rubric 4
odrl:prohibitionappliedSection 4(e) reserves the royalties the licence does not give away: "In those jurisdictions in which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory licensing scheme cannot be waived, the Licensor reserves the exclusive right to collect such royalties for any exercise by You of the rights granted under this License", and the waivable schemes are reserved as well for a use "which is otherwise than noncommercial". dalicc:royaltyCollectionReserved carries it as a prohibition, because it is the licensee who may not exercise the reserved right. Every NonCommercial record of versions 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 states it; the 1.0 texts have no royalty clause and their records state nothing.
-
minor Rubric 10
dalicc:additionalClausesappliedThe six records of this version quote the same passages of the version's text, each literal a single verbatim run of this record's own legal code, in the order the text states them. A passage the element set does not have is absent, which is a difference between the texts and not between two readings.

Created from the license text on 2026-09-22 (Creative Commons 3.0 Unported).
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.
