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
Except as required by law, the Work is licensed by the Licensor on an "as is" and "as available" basis and without any warranty of any kind, either express or implied.
Limitation of liability
Subject to any liability which may not be excluded or limited by law the Licensor shall not be liable and hereby expressly excludes all liability for loss or damage howsoever and whenever caused to You.

The record models the BY-SA element set of the Creative Commons 3.0 port for Ireland and the model follows the grant and the restrictions section of that port. The legal text was read in English. Corrections applied: dct:source, odrl:target. 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-sa/3.0/ie/, and the six 4.0 International parents carry exactly that pair, legal code plus deed. Added.
-
minor Rubric 1
spdx:licenseIdnoneSPDX has no identifier for this port. The legal-code URL implies CC-BY-SA-3.0-IE, which the SPDX licence list does not define, so no spdx:licenseId was invented. Of the forty two records of this review group only the Attribution 3.0 Netherlands record can take one.
-
minor Rubric 2
odrl:targetappliedThe record targeted dalicc:CreativeWork only, while the 4.0 International parent CC-BY-SA-4.0 targets dalicc:CreativeWork and dcmitype:Dataset. This port licenses database rights in terms. The licence notice states that the Work is protected by copyright, related rights and sui generis database right; the definition of Work says that "a Work shall also be taken to mean a live Performance or a database insofar as these are protected under the applicable law within Your jurisdiction"; the grant runs for the duration of the sui generis database right; section 3 waives the licensor own database rights under the national law implementing Directive 96/9/EC; and section 4 carves the restrictions out of the parts that qualify only under that right. Since the text is explicit, dcmitype:Dataset was added, which also brings the record into line with its parent.
-
info Rubric 3
odrl:permissionnoneEvery modelled permission is supported by the grant. Section 3 grants a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive licence to exercise the rights in the Work for the duration of copyright, related right and/or sui generis database right in the Work: to Reproduce the Work, to create Derivative Works, to incorporate the Work into Collective Works, to Reproduce those, and to Distribute or Perform them to the public in any material form in any media whether now known or hereafter created. The record models that as odrl:reproduce, odrl:distribute, odrl:display, odrl:present, odrl:derive, odrl:modify, cc:DerivativeWorks and dalicc:ModifiedWorks. The rights may be exercised in all media and formats now known or later devised. cc:CommercialUse is permitted, which this element set does not restrict.
-
info Rubric 4
odrl:prohibitionnonedalicc:ChangeLicense is prohibited, which the licence supports: the licensee may offer the work only under the terms of this licence and may not offer or impose terms that alter or restrict it or the recipient ability to exercise the rights granted. dalicc:promote is prohibited, which rests on the reservation of all rights not expressly granted and on the endorsement bar in the attribution clause rather than on a trademark clause of the licence body.
-
info Rubric 5
odrl:dutynoneThe 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 communicated to the public, that all notices referring to the licence and to the disclaimer be kept intact, and that credit be given. The attribution clause owes credit to the Original Author and to any Attribution Parties the licensor designates, the title of the Work, the URI and, in the element sets that allow them, a credit identifying the use made of the Work in a Derivative Work. The Irish text spells Licence and authorised in the Irish and British forms throughout, which is why the clause fields of this port do not match the unported wording. 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. The cc:ShareAlike duty is carried at the level of the odrl:Set, as in the parent CC-BY-SA-4.0.
-
info Rubric 5
odrl:dutynoneThe share-alike clause of the 3.0 ports is wider than a flat prohibition of relicensing: an adaptation may be distributed under this licence, under a later version of it with the same licence elements, or under the Creative Commons Unported licence or another jurisdiction port of this or a later version with the same licence elements. The record expresses it as a cc:ShareAlike duty plus a dalicc:ChangeLicense prohibition, which cannot say that a later version or another port is an acceptable outgoing licence. The 4.0 International parent has the same limitation, and the consistency check would report a conflict if dalicc:ChangeLicense were permitted next to cc:ShareAlike, so the present modelling is the only one the checker allows.
-
info Rubric 6
dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimernonedalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer and dalicc:LiabilityLimitation are quoted from the Irish text of this port and not from the unported version, and each field holds its own clause rather than a copy of the other. Section 7, Warranties and Disclaimer, is a single sentence: "Except as required by law, the Work is licensed by the Licensor on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis and without any warranty of any kind, either express or implied." Section 8, Limit of Liability, is likewise one sentence excluding all liability for loss or damage subject to any liability that may not be excluded by law. They are the shortest pair in the review group and neither is set in capitals, unlike the other six ports. Each field holds its own section verbatim.
-
info Rubric 6
dalicc:additionalClausesnoneThe record has no dalicc:additionalClauses, so the clauses the ODRL policy cannot carry, the reservation of unnamed rights, the downstream offer to every recipient, the severability and entire agreement paragraphs, the termination rule and the royalty collection arrangements, are not visible in the record at all. The whole Creative Commons family is modelled this way.
-
info Rubric 7
cc:jurisdictionnonecc:jurisdiction is bpicounty:Ireland, which matches the country of the legal-code URL https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ie/legalcode, and dalicc:validityType is dalicc:perpetual, which matches a grant made for the duration of the applicable rights. The Irish port has no choice-of-law clause. Section 10, General, holds only severability and the entire agreement paragraph. Note that the jurisdiction field records the legal home of the port, not a territorial limit on the grant: the grant itself runs worldwide.
-
gap Rubric 8
odrl:prohibitionnoneThe licence forbids technological protection measures and the vocabulary has no term for it: section 4(a): "When You Distribute or Perform the Work, You must not impose any effective technological measures on the Work or the Work as incorporated in a Collective Work that restrict the ability of a recipient of the Work from You to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the Licence.". 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, and the survival of the definitions, the disclaimer, the limitation of liability and the miscellaneous sections, have no vocabulary term. Proposed term: dalicc:terminationOnBreach. The offer of a direct licence from the licensor to every recipient of the work has none either. Proposed term: dalicc:downstreamOffer.
-
gap Rubric 8
recordnoneMoral rights are not expressible with the present vocabulary. Section 4 states: "Moral rights remain unaffected to the extent they are recognised and not waivable by applicable law." It restricts the licensee. Proposed terms: dalicc:moralRightsRestriction for a clause that binds the licensee and dalicc:moralRightsNonAssertion for one in which the licensor undertakes not to assert.
-
gap Rubric 8
recordnoneThe royalty collection arrangements are not expressible either. Section 6 splits the question three ways: non-waivable compulsory schemes, where the right to collect is reserved; waivable compulsory schemes, reserved in the NonCommercial sets and waived in the others; and voluntary schemes administered by a collecting society, likewise reserved for other than non-commercial use in the NonCommercial sets and waived in the others. The heading itself changes with the element set, from Reservation of Rights to Reservation and Waiver of Rights. Proposed term: dalicc:royaltyCollectionReserved, with a companion for the waived case. The clause differs between the element sets of one and the same port, which is exactly what the model cannot show.
-
gap Rubric 8
recordnoneThe sui generis database right is handled by the text in a way the model cannot carry: the licensor waives its own database right and the restrictions of the licence do not apply to the parts of the work that qualify only under that right. dcmitype:Dataset in odrl:target says that a dataset may be licensed, not that the database right is waived and not that the attribution and share-alike conditions fall away for the database layer. Proposed terms: dalicc:databaseRightWaiver and a marker for the carve-out.
-
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-ShareAlike 4.0 International. The deontic model of this record is identical to the parent CC-BY-SA-4.0, statement for statement: the same permissions with the same duties, the same prohibitions and the same set level duties. What differs is the jurisdiction, the language of the legal text, 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. After the correction the odrl:target of this record also matches the parent. The compatibility checker cannot tell this record from the other records of the BY-SA element set, across all three versions and every jurisdiction the library holds.

major Rubric 3
odrl:permissionappliedThe 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: the definition of Work says that "a Work shall also be taken to mean a live Performance or a database insofar as these are protected under the applicable law within Your jurisdiction", the grant runs for the duration of the sui generis database right, and section 3 waives the licensor own database rights under the national law implementing Directive 96/9/EC, and section 4 carves the restrictions out of the parts that qualify only under that right. 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-SA-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. The cc:ShareAlike duty of this record sits at the level of the odrl:Set and still reaches this permission in the model; the term that would take the conditions off the database layer does not exist, and the gap finding of this review still records that. 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:terminatesOnBreachappliedThe termination clause of this port reads: "This Licence and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this Licence." 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: section 4(a): "You may not sublicense the Work.". 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. Not applied for that reason.

target asset types [dalicc:CreativeWork]Review finding The record targeted dalicc:CreativeWork only, while the 4.0 International parent CC-BY-SA-4.0 targets dalicc:CreativeWork and dcmitype:Dataset. This port licenses database rights in terms. The licence notice states that the Work is protected by copyright, related rights and sui generis database right; the definition of Work says that "a Work shall also be taken to mean a live Performance or a database insofar as these are protected under the applicable law within Your jurisdiction"; the grant runs for the duration of the sui generis database right; section 3 waives the licensor own database rights under the national law implementing Directive 96/9/EC; and section 4 carves the restrictions out of the parts that qualify only under that right.

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.
