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.
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.
Clauses

- Findings
- 17 recorded, 2 applied to the record, 1 proposed, 1 settled in a later version
The record models the BY element set of the Creative Commons 3.0 port for Costa Rica and it does so correctly: 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 Spanish. Corrections applied: dct:source. 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/3.0/cr/, and the six 4.0 International parents carry exactly that pair, legal code plus deed. Added.

minor Rubric 2
odrl:targetproposedThe record targets dalicc:CreativeWork only, while the 4.0 International parent CC-BY-4.0 targets dalicc:CreativeWork and dcmitype:Dataset. The Costa Rican 3.0 port has no sui generis database rights clause, which is what one expects of a jurisdiction outside the European Union: neither "base de datos" nor "sui generis" occurs in any of its six legal texts. The definition of "Obra" does reach "recopilaciones de datos en la medida en que esten protegidas como derechos de autor", compilations of data in so far as they are protected by copyright, which is the Berne article 2(5) compilation and not a database right. Creative Commons licences are media neutral and this one grants the rights in all media and formats now known or later invented, so the asset type is plausible, but nothing in this port's text licenses a database right. Aligning the ports that are silent on the point with the parents is a single library wide decision, so it is proposed rather than applied.

odrl:permissionnoneEvery modelled permission is supported by the grant. Section 3 grants "una licencia mundial, libre de regalías, no exclusiva, perpetua (por la duración de los derechos de autor aplicables)", a worldwide, royalty free, non exclusive and perpetual licence. It covers reproduction, incorporation into collections, and distribution and public performance of the work including as incorporated in collections, and the creation and reproduction of derivative works and their distribution and public performance (section 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: Section 3: "Los derechos antes mencionados incluyen el derecho a efectuar las modificaciones que sean técnicamente necesarias para ejercer los derechos en otros medios y formatos." cc:CommercialUse is permitted, which follows from a grant that puts no purpose limit on the rights.

odrl:prohibitionnonedalicc:ChangeLicense is prohibited, which the licence supports: Section 4(a): "Usted no podrá ofrecer o imponer ninguna condición sobre la Obra que restrinja los términos de esta Licencia, o la capacidad del usuario de la Obra para ejercer los derechos otorgados al usuario bajo los términos de la Licencia." dalicc:promote is prohibited, which rests on section 4(d) itself, which is the 3.0 no endorsement clause: "Usted no podrá implícita o explícitamente afirmar o implicar que existe conexión con el Autor Original, el Licenciante y/o Partes de Atribución, ni puede dar a entender que goza del patrocinio o respaldo de los mismos, a menos que haya obtenido de manera previa la expresa autorización por escrito". Version 3.0 therefore supports dalicc:promote in the licence body, which version 2.0 does not.
-
info Rubric 5
odrl:dutynoneThe attribution and notice duties are present and supported. Section 4(a) requires a copy of the licence or a link to it with every copy distributed or publicly performed, and that all notices referring to the licence be kept intact. Credit is owed to the "Autor Original" or, where the licensor designates them, to the "Partes de Atribución" (sponsoring institution, publisher, journal), with the title of the work and a link where reasonably possible; section 4(d) closes with the no endorsement sentence. Section 3(b) makes the marking of changes a condition of the grant itself: "Crear y Reproducir Obras Derivadas, bajo la condición de que dicha Obra Derivada tome las medidas razonables para identificar, marcar y/o demarcar claramente de otra forma los cambios que se hicieron a la Obra original". 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 Spanish text of this port and not from the English unported version, and each field holds its own clause. Section 5 (Representaciones, Garantias y Responsabilidad) and section 6 (Limites de responsabilidad) are separate sections and the record keeps them apart: dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer holds section 5 and dalicc:LiabilityLimitation holds section 6, both quoted verbatim in Spanish. Unlike the other five ports of this review group the Costa Rican port prints the disclaimer in ordinary case rather than in capitals, and the record follows the text.
-
minor Rubric 6
dalicc:LiabilityLimitationnonedalicc:LiabilityLimitation opens with the section heading "Limites de responsabilidad." because the legal code page runs the heading into the sentence. The quote is otherwise verbatim and was left untouched.
-
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. Section 7 ends the licence automatically on breach, keeps the licences of downstream recipients of derivative works and collections alive and lets sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8 survive; section 8 makes the licensor offer every recipient a licence on the same terms. The whole Creative Commons family is modelled this way.
-
info Rubric 7
cc:jurisdictionnonecc:jurisdiction is bpicounty:CostaRica, which matches the country of the legal code URL https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/cr/legalcode, and dalicc:validityType is dalicc:perpetual, which matches a grant made for the duration of copyright. The Costa Rican 3.0 port has no choice of law clause. Section 8 instead records the statutes the wording was drawn from: "Los derechos concedidos y la materia de referencia, en esta Licencia se elaboraron utilizando la terminologia de la Ley 6683 sobre Derechos de Autor y Derechos Conexos, la Ley 7968 ... la Convencion de Berna ... el Convenio de Roma de 1961". cc:jurisdiction bpicounty:CostaRica records the port; the grant itself is worldwide.

odrl:prohibitionnoneThe licence forbids technological protection measures and the vocabulary has no term for it. Section 4(a): "Cuando Usted Distribuya o Ejecute Públicamente la Obra, no puede imponer cualquier medida tecnológica efectiva que restrinja la capacidad de un destinatario de la Obra para ejercer los derechos otorgados al receptor bajo los términos de esta Licencia." 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.

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. Section 7 ends the licence automatically on breach, keeps the licences of downstream recipients of derivative works and collections alive and lets sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8 survive; section 8 makes the licensor offer every recipient a licence on the same terms. Proposed terms: dalicc:terminationOnBreach and dalicc:downstreamOffer.

recordnoneSection 4(e) closes with a neutral moral rights reservation: "Los derechos morales de autor no se verán afectados en la presente Licencia en la medida que sean reconocidos y no puedan renunciarse de acuerdo a la ley aplicable." It neither restricts the licensee, as Austria and the Netherlands do, nor binds the licensor, as Estonia does. Not expressible with the present vocabulary. Proposed terms: dalicc:moralRightsRestriction for the ports that bind the licensee and dalicc:moralRightsNonAssertion for the ports that bind the licensor.
-
gap Rubric 8
recordnoneSection 4(e) settles royalty collection in three parts, and the Costa Rican port reserves where the 3.0 Unported text waives. Non waivable statutory schemes: the licensor reserves the exclusive right to collect. Waivable statutory schemes: in the NonCommercial sets the licensor reserves for uses outside section 4(c) and waives for non commercial use, but in the Attribution, Attribution-ShareAlike and Attribution-NoDerivatives sets the licensor reserves "para cualquier ejercicio que Usted haga de los derechos concedidos bajo esta licencia", for any exercise at all. Voluntary schemes: the licensor reserves, individually or through a collecting society. The vocabulary has no term for any of it. Proposed term: dalicc:royaltyCollectionReserved, with a companion for the waiver.

recordnonePort of Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International. The deontic model of this record is identical to the parent, statement for statement, apart from odrl:target: the same permissions with the same duties, the same prohibitions and the same set level duties. What differs is the jurisdiction, the language of the legal text, the clause texts, and the version specific clauses of 3.0 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 element set, across all three versions and every jurisdiction the library holds.

major Rubric 7
dalicc:terminatesOnBreachappliedThe termination clause of this port reads: "La presente Licencia y los derechos aquí concedidos finalizarán automáticamente en caso que Usted contravenga los términos de esta Licencia." 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. Section 4(a): "Usted no puede sub-licenciar la Obra." 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.

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.
