added Permission: Extract or reuse a substantial part of a database, with the duties Attribution, Notice

Manual edit Section 4 of the 4.0 text grants the database right where it applies: "for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database", and Section 4(c) carries the conditions of Section 3(a) over to it. dalicc:suiGenerisDatabaseRights is now permitted, with the attribution and notice duties of the copyright grant.

Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International version 2 2026-09-24

added Permission: Charge distribution fee

Review finding dalicc:chargeDistributionFee was missing, although the other four 4.0 records and all 287 Creative Commons ports of the library carry it, and nothing in this licence limits what the licensee may charge: Section 2(a)(1) grants the rights royalty-free and commercial use is expressly permitted. Section 4 of the legal code, the sui generis database rights section, says nothing about fees either. Added, so that the six records of the 4.0 set model the fee question identically. This was flagged before the review in the review of duplicates (see the review method, docs/LICENSE_REVIEW.md section 3).
