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.

Terminates on breach: Yes

Review

Status: Reviewed against the license text
Last checked: 2026-09-15
Reviewer: Giray Havur
Verdict: corrected during the review
Record changed since this review: yes (version 2, 2026-09-24)
Findings: 16 recorded, 2 applied to the record, 2 proposed, 1 settled in a later version

The record models the Attribution element set of the Creative Commons 2.0 port for Brazil, read in Portuguese from the legal code. The permissions, prohibitions and duties all follow from the grant in Section 3 and the restrictions in Section 4, and the clause texts are quoted from this port rather than from the unported version. Applied: dct:source. The remaining findings are library-wide rather than defects of this record: the sublicensing prohibition, the no-additional-terms prohibition, the asset types, and, for the version, the clauses that 2.0 settles per jurisdiction.

15 findings

minor Rubric 1 dct:source applied

The record carried cc:legalcode but no dct:source, so it had a single provenance link where the 4.0 International parents carry two. The canonical URL of the port, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/br/, was added, which is the pair, legal code plus deed, that the parents use and that the other 2.0 port group applied as well.
info Rubric 1 spdx:licenseId none

SPDX has no identifier for this port. The legal-code URL implies CC-BY-2.0-BR, which the SPDX licence list does not define, so none was invented.
minor Rubric 2 odrl:target proposed

The asset collection is dalicc:CreativeWork alone, while the 4.0 International parent carries dalicc:CreativeWork and dcmitype:Dataset. The port grants the rights in all media and formats, and a database is a protected work under the copyright law of the porting jurisdiction, so the legal text supports the wider collection. The association's review decided that asset types follow the legal text; the change is proposed rather than applied because it has to be made in all 287 Creative Commons ports at once, not in the seventeen of this review group.
info Rubric 3 odrl:permission none

Every modelled permission follows from the grant in Section 3, which gives a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive and perpetual licence, for the duration of the applicable copyright, to reproduce the work, to incorporate it into collections, to distribute, to display and to perform it publicly, and to create and reproduce derivative works.
major Rubric 4 odrl:prohibition proposed

Section 4(a) also forbids imposing terms that alter or restrict the licence or the recipient's exercise of the rights granted. dalicc:addLimitation expresses exactly that and the record does not carry it. Proposed, not applied, because the same sentence stands in every Creative Commons record of the library.
info Rubric 4 odrl:prohibition none

dalicc:ChangeLicense is prohibited, which rests on the obligation to distribute only under the terms of this licence. dalicc:promote is prohibited, which rests on the reservation of all rights not expressly granted and on the trademark paragraph of the Creative Commons notice rather than on a clause of the licence body.
info Rubric 5 odrl:duty none

cc:Attribution and cc:Notice hang on odrl:distribute, and cc:Attribution, cc:Notice and dalicc:modificationNotice on odrl:modify and odrl:derive, which matches Section 4: a copy of the licence or its URI must travel with every copy, all notices referring to the licence and to the warranty disclaimer must be kept intact, credit must be given to the original author, and a derivative work must carry a credit identifying the use made of the work. No duty is duplicated and none sits at the wrong level.
info Rubric 6 dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer none

The warranty disclaimer and the liability limitation are quoted in Portuguese from the Brazilian legal code and match its Sections 5 and 6. The reservation of unnamed rights, the downstream offer to recipients, the termination rule and the severability and entire-agreement paragraphs are not carried anywhere: no Creative Commons record in the library uses dalicc:additionalClauses.
info Rubric 7 cc:jurisdiction none

cc:jurisdiction is bpicounty:Brazil, which matches the country of the legal-code URL, and dalicc:validityType is dalicc:perpetual, which matches the grant for the duration of the applicable copyright. The jurisdiction field records the legal home of the port, not a territorial limit: the grant itself is worldwide.
gap Rubric 8 odrl:prohibition none

The technological measures clause has no vocabulary term. Section 4(a) of the port: "Você não pode distribuir, exibir publicamente, executar publicamente ou executar publicamente de forma digital a Obra com qualquer medida tecnológica que controle o acesso ou o uso da Obra." Proposed term: dalicc:applyTechnicalProtectionMeasures, an odrl:Action to be used as an odrl:Prohibition.
gap Rubric 8 record none

Automatic termination on breach and the survival of the disclaimer and the miscellaneous sections have no term, and neither has the automatic offer the licensor makes to every downstream recipient. Proposed terms: dalicc:terminationOnBreach and dalicc:downstreamOffer. The Brazilian port settles the royalty question for musical works in its own way: the licensor waives the exclusive right to collect public-performance and mechanical royalties, individually or through a collecting society, naming ECAD, ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and the Harry Fox agency, but expressly reserves the right to collect webcasting royalties through SoundExchange or ECAD where the licensee's digital performance is directed toward commercial advantage. The 4.0 International parent waives collection outright. None of this is expressible.
info Rubric 8 record none

The port works with the Brazilian notion of Obra Coletiva, a collective work, and states that a collective work is not a derivative work. The distinction has no counterpart in the model.
info Rubric 9 record none

The consistency check with the 41 axioms of licensedata/dependencygraph/dg_default.ttl reports no conflict, before and after the correction, and the pre-review baseline listed none either.
info Rubric 10 record none

Port of the Attribution element set. Its deontic model is identical, statement for statement, to the 4.0 International record CC-BY-4.0 after that record was corrected in the same review group, apart from the asset collection. What differs in the documents and not in the model is the version: 2.0 prohibits sublicensing expressly, has no cure period for a breach, has no sui generis database rights clause and settles the royalty and collecting-society question per jurisdiction, while 4.0 adds Section 4 on database rights and the 30 day cure period. The three ports of this element set in this review group, Brazil, Croatia and Italy, carry one and the same model, so the compatibility checker cannot tell them apart either.
major Rubric 7 dalicc:terminatesOnBreach applied

The termination clause of this port reads: "Esta Licença e os direitos aqui concedidos terminarão automaticamente no caso de qualquer violação dos termos desta Licença por Você." 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. Section 4(a) of the port: "Você não pode sublicenciar a Obra." The vocabulary has dalicc:sublicense, defined and used by no record. The association's review decided provisionally that the sublicensing prohibition should be modelled on every Creative Commons record, so it is recorded here with the exact triple and applied in one library-wide sweep.

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.

Version 2 current2026-09-24 Giray Havur

The content review of 2026-09-15 added 1 identification detail and 1 prohibition, recorded the relation to the record this one was adapted from and recorded the review state. Later changes recorded when the license ends on a breach and named the license the record itself is published under.

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.
