Permissions
-
Charge distribution fee from the text Charging a fee for the act of providing a copy of the work to someone else.
-
Duties
- Attribution from the text Giving credit to the copyright holders or authors of the work, in the form the licensor asks for.
- Notice from the text Notice: keeping the license and copyright notices with every copy.
-
Present from the text Performing the work in public, including by broadcast or other communication to the public.
Prohibitions
-
Change license from the text Not permitted: Change license. The text says: "Sie dürfen keine Vertragsbedingungen anbieten oder fordern, die die Bedingungen dieser Lizenz oder die durch sie gewährten Befugnisse ändern oder beschränken." Replacing the license of the work, or of an adaptation, with another license, or changing its terms.
-
Commercial use from the text Not permitted: Commercial use. Using the work to generate income, directly or indirectly, for example by selling it or by using it in advertising.
-
Derive from the text Not permitted: Derive. Creating a new work from the work, such as a translation, adaptation or arrangement of it or of a part of it.
-
Sublicense from the text Not permitted: Sublicense. The text says: "Sie dürfen den Schutzgegenstand nicht unterlizenzieren." Granting a third party rights in the work under a license of the licensee's own, rather than passing on the original license.
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) Using the name or trademarks of the licensor or of contributors to endorse or promote a product.
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)
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.

- 19 recorded, 4 applied to the record, 1 proposed, 1 settled in a later version
The record models the BY-NC-ND element set of the Creative Commons 2.0 port for Austria and it does so correctly: the NonCommercial element prohibits cc:CommercialUse, the NoDerivatives element prohibits odrl:derive, the attribution and notice duties hang on the acts that make the work public, and the permissions, prohibitions and duties all follow from the grant and the restrictions sections of the port. The legal text was read in German. Corrections applied: dct:source, odrl:target dcmitype:Dataset. What remains are proposals that touch the whole Creative Commons family rather than this record, chiefly the express prohibition of sublicensing.

minor Rubric 1
dct:sourceappliedThe 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-nd/2.0/at/, and the six 4.0 International parents carry exactly that pair, legal code plus deed. Added.
-
minor Rubric 2
odrl:targetappliedThe record targeted dalicc:CreativeWork only, while the 4.0 International parent CC-BY-NC-ND-4.0 targets dalicc:CreativeWork and dcmitype:Dataset. This port licenses database rights in its own words, so the asset type is text supported rather than merely plausible. Ziffer 1 counts a database among the objects of a related right: a "verwandtes Schutzrecht" is the right in a protected subject matter other than a work, "zum Beispiel einem nachgelassenen Werk, einem Lichtbild, einer Datenbank, einem Schallträger, einer Rundfunksendung, einem Laufbild oder einer Darbietung eines ausübenden Künstlers", and the Schutzgegenstand offered under the licence is the work, the collection or the object of such a related right. Ziffer 4 and Ziffer 7 name "eine Datenbank" next to an adaptation and a collection. Added dcmitype:Dataset.
-
info Rubric 3
odrl:permissionnoneEvery modelled permission is supported by the grant. Ziffer 3 grants a "unentgeltliche, räumlich und zeitlich (für die Dauer des Urheberrechts oder verwandten Schutzrechts) unbeschränkte, nicht-ausschließliche Nutzungsbewilligung", a free non exclusive permission of use unlimited in place and time. It covers exploitation in physical form (reproduction and distribution), communication to the public in non physical form (broadcasting, rebroadcasting, recitation, performance, presentation and making available), and fixation on image or sound carriers. The record models this as odrl:reproduce, odrl:distribute, odrl:display, odrl:present, plus odrl:modify and dalicc:ModifiedWorks, which rest on the technical modification sentence of the grant: Ziffer 3: "Die genannte Nutzungsbewilligung beinhaltet die Befugnis, solche Veränderungen an dem Werk vorzunehmen, die technisch erforderlich sind, um die Nutzungsbewilligung für alle Nutzungsarten wahrzunehmen." In this NoDerivatives set the grant list stops short of any right to adapt, which is why the record prohibits odrl:derive while still permitting odrl:modify: the only modification allowed is the one the grant calls technically necessary. The 4.0 International parent CC-BY-NC-ND-4.0 models it in exactly the same way.
-
minor Rubric 3
odrl:permissionproposedThe record permits dalicc:chargeDistributionFee while prohibiting cc:CommercialUse. Ziffer 4: "Sie dürfen die in Ziffer 3 erteilten Befugnisse in keiner Weise verwenden, die überwiegend auf einen geschäftlichen Vorteil oder eine vertraglich geschuldete geldwerte Vergütung abzielt oder darauf gerichtet ist." The vocabulary defines dalicc:chargeDistributionFee as a fee covering the act of providing the work to a third party, so a pure cost recovery fee is arguable under the primary purpose test, but the statement sits uneasily next to the prohibition. The same statement is in the 4.0 International parent CC-BY-NC-ND-4.0 and in every NonCommercial record of the library, so removing it is one library wide decision, not a defect of this port.
-
info Rubric 4
odrl:prohibitionnonedalicc:ChangeLicense is prohibited, which the licence supports: Ziffer 4: "Sie dürfen keine Vertragsbedingungen anbieten oder fordern, die die Bedingungen dieser Lizenz oder die durch sie gewährten Befugnisse ändern oder beschränken." dalicc:promote is prohibited, which rests on the reservation of all rights not expressly granted and the Creative Commons trademark paragraph of the notice around the licence body, not a clause of the licence itself cc:CommercialUse is prohibited, which the NonCommercial element of this set states directly. odrl:derive is prohibited, which follows from a grant that never lists a right to adapt the work; the NoDerivatives element is expressed by the absence of the derivative right rather than by a separate prohibition in the text.
-
info Rubric 5
odrl:dutynoneThe attribution and notice duties are present and supported. Ziffer 4 requires a copy or the full URI of the licence with every copy, distribution or communication to the public, and that all notices referring to the licence and to the exclusion of warranty and liability be left unchanged. Credit is owed to the "Urheber oder Rechtsinhaber", the author or the rights holder, rather than to an "original author"; an adaptation must state in which form the protected subject matter entered it; and the notice must be at least as prominent as comparable notices "bei einer Bearbeitung, einer Datenbank oder einem Sammelwerk". The duties hang on odrl:distribute and odrl:modify, which matches the licence, since they are triggered by making the work public rather than by private use; odrl:derive is prohibited in this NoDerivatives set, so the duties reach only distribution and the technically necessary modification.
-
minor Rubric 5
odrl:dutynoneThe record hangs dalicc:modificationNotice on odrl:modify, and this NoDerivatives text has no clause to support it: because the grant never reaches an adaptation, the port carries no requirement to mark changes and no derivative credit sentence at all, unlike the other five element sets of the same port. The only modification the licence allows is the technically necessary one, which needs no notice. The 4.0 International parent CC-BY-NC-ND-4.0 carries exactly the same statement, so this is a family wide modelling choice rather than a defect of this port, and removing it would split the NoDerivatives family. It does not change the compatibility outcome, since the duty is attached to a permission the licence grants only for format shifting.
-
info Rubric 6
dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimernonedalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer and dalicc:LiabilityLimitation are quoted from the German text of this port and not from the English unported version, and each field holds its own clause. Ziffer 5 (Gewaehrleistung) and Ziffer 6 (Haftung) are separate sections of the legal code and the record keeps them apart: dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer holds Ziffer 5 and dalicc:LiabilityLimitation holds Ziffer 6, both quoted verbatim in German. Ziffer 6 carries the Austrian consumer protection carve out for dealings between businesses and consumers under the Konsumentenschutzgesetz, which no other port in the library has.
-
info Rubric 6
dalicc:additionalClausesnoneThe record has no dalicc:additionalClauses, so the clauses the ODRL policy cannot carry stay invisible: the reservation of unnamed rights, the downstream offer to recipients, the severability, waiver and entire agreement paragraphs and the termination rule. Ziffer 7 ends the licence automatically on any breach and keeps Ziffern 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8 alive; Ziffer 8 makes the licensor offer every recipient of the work, the adaptation or the collection a licence on the same terms. The whole Creative Commons family is modelled this way.
-
info Rubric 7
cc:jurisdictionnonecc:jurisdiction is bpicounty:Austria, which matches the country of the legal code URL https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/at/legalcode, and dalicc:validityType is dalicc:perpetual, which matches a grant made for the duration of copyright. Ziffer 8: "Auf diesen Lizenzvertrag findet das Recht der Bundesrepublik Österreich Anwendung." Note that cc:jurisdiction records the legal home of the port, not a territorial limit: the grant itself is unlimited in place.
-
gap Rubric 8
odrl:prohibitionnoneThe licence forbids technological protection measures and the vocabulary has no term for it. Ziffer 4: "Sie dürfen den Schutzgegenstand mit keinen technischen Schutzmaßnahmen versehen, die den Zugang oder den Gebrauch des Schutzgegenstandes in einer Weise kontrollieren, die mit den Bedingungen dieser Lizenz im Widerspruch stehen." 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
recordnoneThe automatic termination of the licence on breach, the survival of the named sections and the licence the licensor offers to every downstream recipient have no vocabulary terms. Ziffer 7 ends the licence automatically on any breach and keeps Ziffern 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8 alive; Ziffer 8 makes the licensor offer every recipient of the work, the adaptation or the collection a licence on the same terms. Proposed terms: dalicc:terminationOnBreach and dalicc:downstreamOffer.
-
gap Rubric 8
recordnoneZiffer 4 keeps the grant inside the personality rights of authors and performers: the permission "findet ihre gesetzliche Grenze in den Persoenlichkeitsrechten sowie im Schutz der berechtigten geistigen Interessen der Urheber und ausuebenden Kuenstler, die nicht dadurch gefaehrdet werden duerfen, dass ein Schutzgegenstand ueber das gesetzlich zulaessige Mass hinaus beeintraechtigt wird". The clause restricts the licensee. Not expressible with the present vocabulary. Proposed terms: dalicc:moralRightsRestriction for the ports that bind the licensee and dalicc:moralRightsNonAssertion for the ports that bind the licensor.
-
info Rubric 8
recordnoneThe Austrian 2.0 port carries no collecting society clause at all: the word "Verwertungsgesellschaft" appears in none of its six legal texts, and no royalty is reserved or waived anywhere in the licence. The Australian, South African and Polish 2.0 ports of the same version do carry such a clause, and the German collecting society clause arrived only with the 3.0 port, so this is a real divergence inside one version.
-
info Rubric 9
recordnoneThe 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
recordnonePort of Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International. The deontic model of this record is identical to the parent, statement for statement: the same permissions with the same duties, the same prohibitions and the same set level duties, and after the correction above the same odrl:target as well. What differs is the jurisdiction, the language of the legal text, the clause texts, and the version specific clauses of 2.0 that the model does not carry, chiefly the express prohibition of sublicensing, the technological measures clause and the royalty collection arrangements. The compatibility checker cannot tell this record from any other record of the BY-NC-ND element set, across all three versions and every jurisdiction the library holds.
-
minor Rubric 4
odrl:prohibitionapplieddalicc:promote was prohibited and no sentence of this text supports it. The statement was the library's reading of a legal default, that a copyright licence which says nothing about endorsement grants no right to it, and it sat in 519 of 581 records as a house convention. That reading is now an adopted dalicc:DefaultRule of the core dependency graph, which supplies it to every licence that is silent about the action, so a compatibility check reaches the same answer and the record states only what the text states. Removed on 2026-09-23; see section 13 of docs/LICENSE_REVIEW.md.
-
major Rubric 7
dalicc:terminatesOnBreachappliedThe termination clause of this port reads: "Dieser Lizenzvertrag und die durch diesen erteilten Befugnisse enden automatisch bei jeder Verletzung der Vertragsbedingungen durch Sie." 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:prohibitionThe licence forbids sublicensing and the record does not say so. Ziffer 4: "Sie dürfen den Schutzgegenstand nicht unterlizenzieren." The vocabulary already has dalicc:sublicense, but no record in the library uses it 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.

Version 2 current2026-09-24 Giray Havur
The content review of 2026-09-15 added 1 identification detail and 1 prohibition, removed 2 permissions, changed 1 asset target, recorded the relation to the record this one was adapted from and recorded the review state. Later changes left endorsement to the default rule of the core dependency graph, recorded which sentence of the text each statement rests on, 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.
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.
