License-wide duties
This license states no duties that apply to the work as a whole.
What applies by default
The statements above are the library's reading of this license: each is marked with the sentence it rests on, or as a library convention where the text is not explicit. The statements below are the ones the DALICC reasoner supplies for acts the license says nothing about, from the default rules of the dependency graph it reasons with. Each one names the legal source it rests on. None of it is in the record.
-
Promote by default rule (adopted) Using the name or trademarks of the licensor or of contributors to endorse or promote a product.
This license says nothing about Promote, and the graph applies this reading in all jurisdictions it covers: it is not permitted unless the license permits it.
A licence that says nothing about endorsement is read as not allowing it: the licence gives the licensee no right to use the licensor's name or marks in a way that states or implies that the licensor endorses the licensee or its product, while stating truthfully that a work is based on or uses the licensed work is a different act that this rule does not decide. A copyright licence grants rights in the work, and the right to use a name or a trademark is a separate right under trademark law and the protection of names, which a silent copyright licence does not pass on. Combining a licence that is silent about endorsement with one that permits it shows a conflict marked as coming from this rule.
Basis Trademark and name rights are separate from copyright: Regulation (EU) 2017/1001 article 9 lets the proprietor of an EU trade mark prevent all third parties not having his consent from using the sign in the course of trade, and Directive (EU) 2015/2436 article 10, 15 U.S.C. 1114 and 1125(a), section 12 BGB and section 43 ABGB protect marks and names in the same way. The library's evidence is Creative Commons 4.0 section 2(b)(2): Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License. A copyright licence that is silent grants no right to use the licensor's name or marks to suggest endorsement (Worldwide)
Further terms
These are the things the license says about itself beyond the acts it permits, forbids and requires: when it ends, how long there is to put a breach right, which law governs it, and so on. A term that comes from the DALICC vocabulary links to its definition.
Clauses
Warranty disclaimer
En mettant l'Oeuvre à la disposition du public selon les termes de ce Contrat, l'Offrant déclare de bonne foi qu'à sa connaissance et dans les limites d'une enquête raisonnable : L'Offrant a obtenu tous les droits sur l'Oeuvre nécessaires pour pouvoir autoriser l'exercice des droits accordés par le présent Contrat, et permettre la jouissance paisible et l'exercice licite de ces droits, ceci sans que l'Acceptant n'ait aucune obligation de verser de rémunération ou tout autre paiement ou droits, dans la limite des mécanismes de gestion collective obligatoire applicables décrits à l'article 4(e); L'Oeuvre n'est constitutive ni d'une violation des droits de tiers, notamment du droit de la propriété littéraire et artistique, du droit des marques, du droit de l'information, du droit civil ou de tout autre droit, ni de diffamation, de violation de la vie privée ou de tout autre préjudice délictuel à l'égard de toute tierce partie. A l'exception des situations expressément mentionnées dans le présent Contrat ou dans un autre accord écrit, ou exigées par la loi applicable, l'Oeuvre est mise à disposition en l'état sans garantie d'aucune sorte, qu'elle soit expresse ou tacite, y compris à l'égard du contenu ou de l'exactitude de l'Oeuvre.
Limitation of liability
A l'exception des garanties d'ordre public imposées par la loi applicable et des réparations imposées par le régime de la responsabilité vis-à-vis d'un tiers en raison de la violation des garanties prévues par l'article 5 du présent contrat, l'Offrant ne sera en aucun cas tenu responsable vis-à-vis de l'Acceptant, sur la base d'aucune théorie légale ni en raison d'aucun préjudice direct, indirect, matériel ou moral, résultant de l'exécution du présent Contrat ou de l'utilisation de l'Oeuvre, y compris dans l'hypothèse où l'Offrant avait connaissance de la possible existence d'un tel préjudice.

- 18 recorded, 4 applied to the record, 1 proposed, 1 settled in a later version
The record models the BY-NC element set of the Creative Commons 2.0 port for France and it does so correctly: the NonCommercial element prohibits cc:CommercialUse, the attribution and notice duties hang on the acts that make the work public, and the permissions, prohibitions and duties all follow from the grant and the restrictions sections of the port. The legal text was read in French. Corrections applied: dct:source, odrl:target dcmitype:Dataset. What remains are proposals that touch the whole Creative Commons family rather than this record, chiefly the express prohibition of sublicensing.

dct:sourceappliedThe record carried cc:legalcode but no dct:source. The legal code page states the canonical URL of the licence, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/fr/, and the six 4.0 International parents carry exactly that pair, legal code plus deed. Added.

minor Rubric 2
odrl:targetappliedThe record targeted dalicc:CreativeWork only, while the 4.0 International parent CC-BY-NC-4.0 targets dalicc:CreativeWork and dcmitype:Dataset. This port licenses database rights in its own words, so the asset type is text supported rather than merely plausible. Article 3(e) grants a database right outright: "lorsque l'Oeuvre est une base de donnees, extraire et reutiliser des parties substantielles de l'Oeuvre". The preamble also names the "droits des producteurs de bases de donnees" among the rights protecting the work. Added dcmitype:Dataset.

info Rubric 3
odrl:permissionnoneEvery modelled permission is supported by the grant. Article 3 grants, for the whole term of protection, "l'autorisation mondiale d'exercer a titre gratuit et non exclusif les droits suivants", a worldwide free and non exclusive authorisation. It covers reproduction, incorporation into collective works, distribution of copies or recordings, and presentation, representation or communication of the work to the public by any technical process, and the creation and reproduction of derivative works and their distribution, presentation, representation and communication to the public (article 3.b and 3.d). The record models this as odrl:reproduce, odrl:distribute, odrl:display, odrl:present, odrl:derive and cc:DerivativeWorks, plus odrl:modify and dalicc:ModifiedWorks, which rest on the technical modification sentence of the grant: Article 3: "Les droits ci-dessus incluent le droit d'effectuer les modifications necessaires techniquement a l'exercice des droits dans d'autres formats et procedes techniques."
-
minor Rubric 3
odrl:permissionproposedThe record permits dalicc:chargeDistributionFee while prohibiting cc:CommercialUse. Article 4(c): "L'Acceptant ne peut exercer aucun des droits conferes par l'article 3 avec l'intention ou l'objectif d'obtenir un profit commercial ou une compensation financiere personnelle", with the file sharing carve out that follows it. The vocabulary defines dalicc:chargeDistributionFee as a fee covering the act of providing the work to a third party, so a pure cost recovery fee is arguable under the primary purpose test, but the statement sits uneasily next to the prohibition. The same statement is in the 4.0 International parent CC-BY-NC-4.0 and in every NonCommercial record of the library, so removing it is one library wide decision, not a defect of this port.

odrl:prohibitionnonedalicc:ChangeLicense is prohibited, which the licence supports: Article 4(a): "L'Acceptant ne peut pas offrir ou imposer de conditions d'utilisation de l'Oeuvre qui alterent ou restreignent les termes du present Contrat ou l'exercice des droits qui y sont accordes au beneficiaire." dalicc:promote is prohibited, which rests on the reservation of all rights not expressly authorised in article 3 and the Creative Commons trademark paragraph of the notice around the licence body, not a clause of the licence itself cc:CommercialUse is prohibited, which the NonCommercial element of this set states directly.
-
info Rubric 5
odrl:dutynoneThe attribution and notice duties are present and supported. Article 4(a) requires a copy or the internet address of the contract with every reproduction or recording distributed, represented or communicated to the public, and that all information referring to the contract and to the exoneration of liability be kept intact. Credit is owed to the "Auteur Original" by name or pseudonym, with the title of the original work and, where possible, the URI the offeror associates with the work; a derivative must identify the use made of the work, for example "Traduction anglaise de l'Oeuvre par l'Auteur Original". The parties are named "Offrant" and "Acceptant" rather than licensor and licensee.. Article 4(d) requires a derivative to "indiquer les elements identifiant l'utilisation l'Oeuvre dans l'Oeuvre dite Derivee". The duties hang on odrl:distribute, odrl:modify and odrl:derive, which matches the licence, since they are triggered by making the work public rather than by private use.
-
info Rubric 6
dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimernonedalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer and dalicc:LiabilityLimitation are quoted from the French text of this port and not from the English unported version, and each field holds its own clause. Article 5 (Garantie et exoneration de responsabilite) and article 6 (Limitation de responsabilite) are separate articles and the record keeps them apart: dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer holds the whole of article 5 and dalicc:LiabilityLimitation holds article 6, both quoted verbatim in French. Article 5 of the French port is longer than the disclaimer of the other 2.0 ports because it carries a good faith representation by the offeror (5(a)) before the as is disclaimer (5(b)), like the South African port and unlike Austria, the Netherlands or Chile.
-
info Rubric 6
dalicc:additionalClausesnoneThe record has no dalicc:additionalClauses, so the clauses the ODRL policy cannot carry stay invisible: the reservation of unnamed rights, the downstream offer to recipients, the severability, waiver and entire agreement paragraphs and the termination rule. Article 7 ends the contract automatically on any breach by the acceptor, keeps the licences of downstream recipients alive and lets articles 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 survive; article 8 makes the offeror propose a licence on identical terms to every recipient. The whole Creative Commons family is modelled this way.
-
info Rubric 7
cc:jurisdictionnonecc:jurisdiction is bpicounty:France, which matches the country of the legal code URL https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/fr/legalcode, and dalicc:validityType is dalicc:perpetual, which matches a grant made for the duration of copyright. Article 8(f): "Le droit applicable est le droit francais." cc:jurisdiction bpicounty:France records the legal home of the port; the grant itself is worldwide ("l'autorisation mondiale").
-
gap Rubric 8
odrl:prohibitionnoneThe licence forbids technological protection measures and the vocabulary has no term for it. Article 4(a): "L'Acceptant ne peut pas reproduire, distribuer, representer ou communiquer au public l'Oeuvre, y compris par voie numerique, en utilisant une mesure technique de controle d'acces ou de controle d'utilisation qui serait contradictoire avec les termes de cet Accord contractuel." Proposed term: dalicc:applyTechnicalProtectionMeasures, an odrl:Action to be used as an odrl:Prohibition. Not modelled, because bending an existing term would be worse than the gap.
-
gap Rubric 8
recordnoneThe automatic termination of the licence on breach, the survival of the named sections and the licence the licensor offers to every downstream recipient have no vocabulary terms. Article 7 ends the contract automatically on any breach by the acceptor, keeps the licences of downstream recipients alive and lets articles 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 survive; article 8 makes the offeror propose a licence on identical terms to every recipient. Proposed terms: dalicc:terminationOnBreach and dalicc:downstreamOffer.
-
info Rubric 8
recordnoneThe French 2.0 port has no moral rights clause: the droit moral of the Code de la propriete intellectuelle is inalienable and the text leaves it to the statute rather than restricting the licensee or binding the offeror. Article 6 mentions "prejudice ... moral" only as a head of damage. Nothing is missing from the record here, but the silence is worth recording next to the ports that do speak.
-
gap Rubric 8
recordnoneArticle 4(e) reserves the compulsory collective management royalties in all six element sets, including the plain Paternite licence: "Dans le cas ou une utilisation de l'Oeuvre serait soumise a un regime legal de gestion collective obligatoire, l'Offrant se reserve le droit exclusif de collecter ces redevances par l'intermediaire de la societe de perception et de repartition des droits competente." The text names broadcasting and communication in a public place of commercial phonograms, some cases of cable and satellite retransmission, private copying of phonograms and videograms, and reprography. Article 3 and article 5(a)(i) both point back at it. The vocabulary has no term for a reserved royalty collection right. Proposed term: dalicc:royaltyCollectionReserved, with a companion for the waiver.

recordnonePort of Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International. The deontic model of this record is identical to the parent, statement for statement: the same permissions with the same duties, the same prohibitions and the same set level duties, and after the correction above the same odrl:target as well. What differs is the jurisdiction, the language of the legal text, the clause texts, and the version specific clauses of 2.0 that the model does not carry, chiefly the express prohibition of sublicensing, the technological measures clause and the royalty collection arrangements. The compatibility checker cannot tell this record from any other record of the BY-NC element set, across all three versions and every jurisdiction the library holds.

minor Rubric 4
odrl:prohibitionapplieddalicc:promote was prohibited and no sentence of this text supports it. The statement was the library's reading of a legal default, that a copyright licence which says nothing about endorsement grants no right to it, and it sat in 519 of 581 records as a house convention. That reading is now an adopted dalicc:DefaultRule of the core dependency graph, which supplies it to every licence that is silent about the action, so a compatibility check reaches the same answer and the record states only what the text states. Removed on 2026-09-23; see section 13 of docs/LICENSE_REVIEW.md.

major Rubric 7
dalicc:terminatesOnBreachappliedThe termination clause of this port reads: "Tout manquement aux termes du contrat par l'Acceptant entraîne la résiliation automatique du Contrat et la fin des droits qui en découlent." 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.
Settled in version 2 (1)
-
settled
odrl:prohibitionThe licence forbids sublicensing and the record does not say so. Article 4(a): "L'Acceptant ne peut pas ceder de droits sur l'Oeuvre." The French port renders the no sublicensing sentence of the unported text as a prohibition on transferring rights in the work. The vocabulary already has dalicc:sublicense, but no record in the library uses it and its skos:note says so, and the same sentence stands in every Creative Commons 2.0 and 3.0 record, so adding it to this review group alone would split the compatibility behaviour of one family. Proposed as one library wide correction, together with an update of the vocabulary note.

Version 2 current2026-09-24 Giray Havur
The content review of 2026-09-15 added 1 identification detail and 1 prohibition, changed 1 asset target, recorded the relation to the record this one was adapted from and recorded the review state. Later changes left endorsement to the default rule of the core dependency graph, recorded which sentence of the text each statement rests on, recorded when the license ends on a breach and named the license the record itself is published under.

Every change names the reason behind it: a finding of the content review, one of its library-wide decisions, the metadata that review wrote onto every record, or a hand edit. None of it is legal advice.
Nothing on this page is legal advice. What a license means is decided by its text; ask a legal advisor before you rely on it.
