The permissions, prohibitions and duties all follow from the grant in Section 3 and the restrictions in Section 4, and the clause texts are quoted from this port rather than from the unported version. Applied: dct:source. The remaining findings are library-wide rather than defects of this record: the sublicensing prohibition, the no-additional-terms prohibition, the asset types, and, for the version, the clauses that 2.0 settles per jurisdiction.","findings":[{"rubric":1,"severity":"minor","field":"dct:source","description":"The record carried cc:legalcode but no dct:source, so it had a single provenance link where the 4.0 International parents carry two. The canonical URL of the port, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/hr/, was added, which is the pair, legal code plus deed, that the parents use and that the other 2.0 port group applied as well.","action":"applied","change":"dct:source <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/hr/> ;"},{"rubric":1,"severity":"info","field":"spdx:licenseId","description":"SPDX has no identifier for this port.

The port grants the rights in all media and formats, and a database is a protected work under the copyright law of the porting jurisdiction, so the legal text supports the wider collection. The association's review decided that asset types follow the legal text; the change is proposed rather than applied because it has to be made in all 287 Creative Commons ports at once, not in the seventeen of this review group.","action":"proposed","change":"odrl:target [ a odrl:AssetCollection ;\n        dct:type dalicc:CreativeWork,\n            dcmitype:Dataset ] ;"},{"rubric":3,"severity":"info","field":"odrl:permission","description":"Every modelled permission follows from the grant in Section 3, which gives a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive and perpetual licence, for the duration of the applicable copyright, to reproduce the work, to incorporate it into collections, to distribute, to display and to perform it publicly, and to create and reproduce derivative works.","action":"none"},{"rubric":3,"severity":"minor","field":"odrl:permission","description":"The record permits dalicc:chargeDistributionFee while prohibiting cc:CommercialUse. The licence forbids exercising the rights in any manner primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation, and allows a file-sharing exchange without monetary compensation. A pure cost-recovery fee is arguable under that test. The association's review decided provisionally to keep the present modelling, so nothing was changed; the question is recorded as open and concerns all 145 NonCommercial records of the library, not this port.","action":"none"},{"rubric":4,"severity":"info","field":"odrl:prohibition","description":"cc:CommercialUse is prohibited, which the NonCommercial clause of Section 4 states directly.","action":"none"},{"rubric":4,"severity":"major","field":"odrl:prohibition","description":"The licence forbids sublicensing and the record does not say so. Section 4(a) of the port: \"Ne smijete podlicencirati Djelo.\" The vocabulary has dalicc:sublicense, defined and used by no record.

That is a real jurisdictional difference and the record carries it correctly as clause text. The reservation of unnamed rights, the downstream offer to recipients, the termination rule and the severability and entire-agreement paragraphs are not carried anywhere: no Creative Commons record in the library uses dalicc:additionalClauses.","action":"none"},{"rubric":7,"severity":"info","field":"cc:jurisdiction","description":"cc:jurisdiction is bpicounty:Croatia, which matches the country of the legal-code URL, and dalicc:validityType is dalicc:perpetual, which matches the grant for the duration of the applicable copyright.

Its deontic model is identical, statement for statement, to the 4.0 International record CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0 after that record was corrected in the same review group, apart from the asset collection. What differs in the documents and not in the model is the version: 2.0 prohibits sublicensing expressly, has no cure period for a breach, has no sui generis database rights clause and settles the royalty and collecting-society question per jurisdiction, while 4.0 adds Section 4 on database rights and the 30 day cure period. The three ports of this element set in this review group, Brazil, Croatia and Italy, carry one and the same model, so the compatibility checker cannot tell them apart either.","action":"none"},{"rubric":7,"severity":"major","field":"dalicc:terminatesOnBreach","description":"The termination clause of this port reads: \"Licenca i prava korištenja koja su njome dana prestat će automatski važiti prekršite li uvjete 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.","action":"applied"}],"family":"Creative Commons 2.0 port: Croatia (HR)","port_of":"CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0","variant_kind":"jurisdiction-port","notes":"The parent named in port_of is the 4.0 International record of the same element set, because the library holds no unported or generic 2.0 record; the version difference, 2.0 against 4.0, is therefore part of the port relation and not only the jurisdiction. The Croatian port has no collecting-society clause at all, unlike the Italian and Brazilian ports of the same version, and no separate royalty arrangement for musical works. Nothing in this review is legal advice."}
