You may not sublicense the Work." Granting a third party rights in the work under a license of the licensee's own, rather than passing on the original license.

License-wide duties

  • Share alike from the text Adaptations have to be licensed under the same license or one the license names as compatible.

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.

No default rule of that graph reaches this license: it speaks about every act the rules are about.

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.

Findings
17 recorded, 13 applied to the record, 0 proposed

The record models the unported text of Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0, the original that the Creative Commons jurisdiction ports of this version were adapted from. It copies the model of CC-BY-SA-4.0, the 4.0 record of the same element set, and departs from it only where the 3.0 text departs from the 4.0 text. Version 3.0 added the moral-rights clause and the collecting-society clause, and replaced Derivative Work and Collective Work with Adaptation and Collection.

17 findings
  • info Rubric 1 spdx:licenseId applied

    File name, identifier, SPDX identifier and IRI agree. The record models the unported original of version 3.0, which the library did not hold: it held the 4.0 International record of this element set and the jurisdiction ports adapted from version 3.0. The record is not a port, so it carries no dalicc:jurisdictionPortOf and no country; cc:jurisdiction is dalicc:worldwide and dalicc:variantKind is "version", the kind docs/DATA.md gives a record that is an earlier version of a text the library holds.

  • minor Rubric 2 odrl:target applied

    odrl:target carries dalicc:CreativeWork and dcmitype:Dataset. The 3.0 text is the first of the unported line to name data in the definition of the Work: Section 1 includes "a compilation of data to the extent it is protected as a copyrightable work". There is no sui generis database right clause in this text, so the dataset type rests on that sentence alone and not on a database right the licence licenses or waives. The 3.0 jurisdiction ports in the library carry the same pair, and so does every other 3.0 record of this addition.

  • major Rubric 3 odrl:permission applied

    Section 3 grants a license to Reproduce the Work, "to create and Reproduce Adaptations provided that any such Adaptation, including any translation in any medium, takes reasonable steps to clearly label, demarcate or otherwise identify that changes were made to the original Work", to Distribute and Publicly Perform the Work, and to Distribute and Publicly Perform Adaptations. That is odrl:reproduce, odrl:distribute, odrl:display, odrl:present, odrl:modify, dalicc:ModifiedWorks, odrl:derive and cc:DerivativeWorks.

  • minor Rubric 3 odrl:permission applied

    There is no NonCommercial element, so cc:CommercialUse is a permission and dalicc:chargeDistributionFee stands beside it. The grant is "worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright)" and names no field of use.

  • major Rubric 4 odrl:prohibition applied

    Section 4(a) reads: "You may not offer or impose any terms on the Work that restrict the terms of this License or the ability of the recipient of the Work to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the License. You may not sublicense the Work." That is dalicc:sublicense prohibited, which review decision 1 of 2026-09-15 requires of every Creative Commons record except the CC0 dedication, and dalicc:ChangeLicense prohibited, which library convention 15 expressly keeps for this family because the no-downstream-restrictions clause is the bar the rule otherwise denies.

  • major Rubric 4 odrl:prohibition applied

    dalicc:promote is prohibited on the strength of Section 4(c): "You may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply any connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties". The Creative Commons trademark paragraph at the foot of the 3.0 text is not the basis, because that text says of itself "For the avoidance of doubt, this trademark restriction does not form part of the License."

  • info Rubric 4 dalicc:additionalClauses none

    The licence waives the royalty collection rather than reserving it: "Licensor waives the exclusive right to collect, whether individually or via a performance rights society (e.g. ASCAP, BMI, SESAC), royalties for the public performance or public digital performance (e.g. webcast) of the Work." The comment on dalicc:royaltyCollectionReserved says the statement is absent where the licence waives the right, so no prohibition is written and the clause is quoted instead. The NonCommercial texts of the same version reserve it, and their records carry the term.

  • major Rubric 4 odrl:prohibition applied

    The 3.0 text binds the licensee to the moral rights of the author: "You must not distort, mutilate, modify or take other derogatory action in relation to the Work which would be prejudicial to the Original Author's honor or reputation". dalicc:moralRightsRestriction is defined for exactly that ("Where the license binds the licensee to respect those rights, this is the action it restricts") and is written as a prohibition. It had been applied to no record. The 1.0, 2.0 and 2.5 texts have no such clause and their records carry no such prohibition.

  • major Rubric 5 odrl:duty applied

    Section 4(a) reads: "You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for, this License with every copy of the Work You Distribute or Publicly Perform." and the attribution clause asks You to "keep intact all copyright notices for the Work" and to name the Original Author and the title. cc:Attribution and cc:Notice therefore hang on odrl:distribute, on odrl:modify and on odrl:derive, where dalicc:modificationNotice joins them because Section 3(b) asks an Adaptation to "clearly label, demarcate or otherwise identify that changes were made to the original Work" . The duties hang on the acts that trigger them, not on the odrl:Set.

  • major Rubric 5 odrl:duty applied

    The ShareAlike element is a licence-wide cc:ShareAlike duty on the odrl:Set, which is reciprocity shape 1 and what CC-BY-SA-4.0 and every port of this element set carry. Section 4(b) sets its scope and the licences it accepts, and the record says so twice over: dalicc:reciprocityScope names how far it reaches and dalicc:shareAlikeVersionQualifier names the outgoing licences, as "this License, a later version of this License with the same License Elements, a Creative Commons jurisdiction license with the same License Elements, or a Creative Commons Compatible License". The qualifier had been applied to no record. The whole of 4(b) is quoted in dalicc:additionalClauses.

  • gap Rubric 8 dalicc:additionalClauses none

    Two clauses the record quotes rather than models, because CC-BY-SA-4.0 and the 287 ports do not model them either and a single set of records should not change the family on its own. The first is the technological measures sentence: "When You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work, You may not impose any effective technological measures on the Work that restrict the ability of a recipient of the Work from You to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the License." dalicc:applyTechnicalProtectionMeasures exists and would carry it as a prohibition. The second is Section 8: "the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License", which dalicc:downstreamOffer describes exactly; odrl:grantUse cannot carry it, because the dependency graph makes odrl:grantUse the same action as dalicc:sublicense and this licence prohibits sublicensing. Both are proposals for the whole Creative Commons family rather than for this record.

  • major Rubric 7 dalicc:terminatesOnBreach applied

    Section 7(a) reads: "This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License." dalicc:terminatesOnBreach is true and no dalicc:curePeriod is written, because this generation of the licence has no reinstatement clause: once the licence ends, it ends. The 4.0 text added the 30-day reinstatement, and CC-BY-SA-4.0 carries neither property today. Section 7(b) says "the license granted here is perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work)", so dalicc:validityType is dalicc:perpetual, and the text names no legal system, so cc:jurisdiction is dalicc:worldwide.

  • minor Rubric 6 dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer applied

    The warranty disclaimer and the limitation of liability are separate sections and are quoted into separate properties, which is family rule 10. Both are quoted verbatim, including the spelling of the source text ("MERCHANTIBILITY", "THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS"). The text of CC-BY-SA-3.0 carries no long dash, so no quotation needed a hyphen in place of one. Line breaks inside a quoted clause are collapsed to single spaces, the way CC-BY-SA-4.0 writes its clauses; the ports keep the line breaks of their own source.

  • info Rubric 9 record none

    The consistency check of app.services.composer against the axioms of licensedata/dependencygraph/dg_default.ttl returned no conflicts.

  • info Rubric 10 record none

    The nearest sibling is CC-BY-SA-4.0, and the nearest port is the 3.0 port of this element set. The record carries the same permissions, duties and prohibitions as CC-BY-SA-4.0 and differs from it in five things, all of them differences between the two texts: no dcmitype:Dataset on the target, dalicc:terminatesOnBreach with no cure period, dalicc:licenseVersion "3.0" with dalicc:variantKind "version", the clause quotes of this generation of the text, and the statements this version adds (dalicc:royaltyCollectionReserved, dalicc:moralRightsRestriction, dalicc:shareAlikeVersionQualifier and dalicc:reciprocityScope where the text has them).

  • minor Rubric 10 dalicc:additionalClauses applied

    The six records of this version quote the same passages of the version's text, each literal a single verbatim run of this record's own legal code, in the order the text states them. A passage the element set does not have is absent, which is a difference between the texts and not between two readings.

  • major Rubric 10 dalicc:compatibleWith applied

    Section 4(b) reads: "You may Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation only under the terms of: (i) this License; (ii) a later version of this License with the same License Elements as this License; ..." and the Creative Commons list of compatible licenses (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses) names BY-SA 4.0 as the later version. dalicc:compatibleWith names CC-BY-SA-4.0.

History

This license model has 2 versions. Version 2 is the one served today; every earlier version keeps its own address, so a conclusion drawn from one of them can still be checked against it.

  1. Version 2 current2026-09-24 Giray Havur

    The changes since version 1 recorded which sentence of the text each statement rests on, named the license the record itself is published under, recorded the licenses a work under it may be released under and removed the quotes that do not name the act they support.
