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.

Patent license ends if you sue
Yes. Not a ban on suing: a patent claim over the work ends the patent license, or the whole license, as the text provides.

Clauses

Warranty disclaimer

Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each Contributor provides its Contributions) on an AS IS BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

Limitation of liability

In no event and under no legal theory, whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Accepting warranty or additional liability

While redistributing the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer, and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity, or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

Additional clauses

If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or, within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and wherever such third-party notices normally appear.

Findings
14 recorded, 11 applied to the record, 0 proposed

Models the licence ImageMagick Studio applies to ImageMagick. The binding part of the text is the Apache 2.0 text with the licensor's name in place of the Apache one, so the record follows Apache-2.0 and adds the dalicc:includeNoticeFile duty the NOTICE clause asks for. The plain-language summary printed before the terms is not the licence and is not modelled.

14 findings

  • info Rubric 1 spdx:licenseId applied

    File name, record identifier, SPDX identifier and IRI local name are all ImageMagick.

  • info Rubric 2 odrl:target applied

    One odrl:AssetCollection of dct:type dcmitype:Software. The text defines the Work as source form, object form and documentation source of a program.

  • major Rubric 3 odrl:permission applied

    Section 2 reads "each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form". The record permits reproduce, distribute, modify, derive, display, present, grantUse, sublicense, commercial use, derivative works, modified works and the distribution fee. dalicc:sublicense is used because the grant names sublicensing in as many words; odrl:grantUse follows the Apache-2.0 record.

  • major Rubric 3 odrl:permission applied

    dalicc:patentGrant is permitted for section 3, "each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work".

  • major Rubric 3 odrl:permission applied

    dalicc:ChangeLicense is permitted with the dalicc:compliantLicense duty. Section 4 says a licensee "may provide additional or different license terms and conditions for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use, reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with the conditions stated in this License", which is the compliant-licence shape.

  • major Rubric 4 odrl:prohibition applied

    dalicc:promote is prohibited for section 6, "This License does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor". dalicc:patentRetaliationTermination is prohibited for section 3, "If You institute patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed".

  • major Rubric 5 odrl:duty applied

    cc:Attribution and cc:Notice hang off odrl:distribute, odrl:modify and odrl:derive for conditions 4a and 4c. dalicc:modificationNotice hangs off odrl:modify and odrl:derive for 4b, "You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that You changed the files".

  • minor Rubric 5 odrl:duty applied

    dalicc:includeNoticeFile hangs off odrl:distribute and odrl:derive for 4d, the NOTICE clause. The existing Apache-2.0 record does not carry that duty although its text has the same clause; the divergence is reported as a proposal rather than applied to that record.

  • info Rubric 6 dalicc:WarrantyOrLiabilityAcceptance applied

    Sections 7, 8 and 9 go into dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer, dalicc:LiabilityLimitation and dalicc:WarrantyOrLiabilityAcceptance respectively, verbatim, as on Apache-2.0.

  • minor Rubric 6 dalicc:additionalClauses applied

    The text before the words "Terms and Conditions for Use, Reproduction, and Distribution" is a plain-language summary that the licence itself sets aside: "The legally binding and authoritative terms and conditions for use, reproduction, and distribution of ImageMagick follow". Nothing in the record is taken from it.

  • info Rubric 7 cc:jurisdiction applied

    The grant is "perpetual, worldwide" and the text names no governing law, so cc:jurisdiction is dalicc:worldwide and dalicc:validityType is dalicc:perpetual.

  • info Rubric 8 dalicc:additionalClauses none

    No clause of this text needs a term the vocabulary does not have.

  • info Rubric 9 record none

    The consistency check of app.services.composer against the dependency graph dg_default returned an empty conflict list.

  • info Rubric 10 record none

    Read against licensedata/licenses/Apache-2.0.ttl the record adds dalicc:includeNoticeFile and dalicc:sublicense and targets dcmitype:Software alone rather than the three asset types the older Apache-2.0 record carries. Everything else is the same, because the binding text is the same text with another name in it.

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.
