DEVELOPMENT VERSION: This is an experimental DALICC environment. Features, data and APIs may change or be reset without notice. A stable version of this service, with a potentially different feature set, will be made available soon at dalicc.net.

Changes to the license models


What DALICC changed in its curated models, when, and why.

A license model is corrected when a reading of the legal text turns out to be wrong. Every correction changes what the compatibility checker answers, so each change below names the reason behind it and links to the record it was made on.

6081 changes, page 17 of 122.

  • LaTeX Project Public License, Version 1.3c version 2 2026-09-24

    added Review status: Reviewed

    Review state Every record records how far it has come in the editorial workflow and when it was last checked against the legal text.

    was Accepting warranty or additional liability: " The Work has the status `author-maintained' if the Copyright Holder explicitly and prominently states near the primary...

    Manual edit Four corrections the text supports. The cc:ShareAlike prohibition goes, because no sentence of the licence forbids a share-alike condition and clause 10(a) lets a Derived Work go under another licence that honours clause 6. Clause 6(d) is the dalicc:originalVersionOffer duty on modify and derive: "You distribute at least one of the following with the Derived Work: 1. A complete, unmodified copy of the Work ... 2. Information that is sufficient to obtain a complete, unmodified copy of the Work." The target gains dalicc:CreativeWork, because the licence governs "Any work being distributed under this License" and not only a program. The padding spaces inside dalicc:WarrantyOrLiabilityAcceptance are stripped and dct:title carries its language tag.
