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-sa/2.0/br/, 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-sa/2.0/br/> ;"},{"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":4,"severity":"major","field":"odrl:prohibition","description":"The licence forbids sublicensing and the record does not say so. Section 4(a) of the port: \"Você não pode sublicenciar a Obra.\" The vocabulary has dalicc:sublicense, defined and used by no record.

The Brazilian port settles the royalty question for musical works in its own way: the licensor waives the exclusive right to collect public-performance and mechanical royalties, individually or through a collecting society, naming ECAD, ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and the Harry Fox agency, but expressly reserves the right to collect webcasting royalties through SoundExchange or ECAD where the licensee's digital performance is directed toward commercial advantage.

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: \"Esta Licença e os direitos aqui concedidos terminarão automaticamente no caso de qualquer violação dos termos desta Licença por Você.\" 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: Brazil (BR)","port_of":"CC-BY-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.
