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.
DALICC reads licenses as machine-readable rules. Check what a license permits,
requires and prohibits, and whether several licenses can be combined. Compose a
license of your own and publish it.
The library holds the licenses DALICC knows, each one written out as machine
readable rules. Search it by name here, or answer a questionnaire about what
you want to allow and let the License Search narrow it down.
The composer builds a license out of the permissions, prohibitions and duties
you switch on. It reasons over the result before you publish it, so a license
that contradicts itself is caught while you are still writing it.
Put several licenses into one bundle and the checker says whether they can be
used together. It names every conflict it finds and, with a target license,
whether the bundle may be released under that one.
Pick two or more licenses and the comparator puts their rules side by side.
The matrix shows where they agree and where one permits what another forbids.
Name a public repository and the checker reads the licenses of its
dependencies. It maps them onto DALICC records and reports the conflicts
between them, and the conflicts with a target license when you name one.
A dependency graph states how the named actions relate to one another, and
every check follows one. Read the core graphs in the viewer, or build a graph
of your own in the editor and check against that.
With an account you draft and publish licenses under your own name, keep
dependency graphs of your own and call the API with a token. Accounts are given
by invitation; the license pages say what each one does
without one.
A jurisdiction port is the same license adapted to another legal system. DALICC keeps
every one of them, with its own address, and groups it under the license it came from.
Everything the 2026 renewal brings: a reviewed and much larger license library, license pages that answer first, checks that tell a restriction from a conflict, reasoning you can steer, accounts, two generations of the API, and how to take part.
