Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Uganda

minor Rubric 1 dct:source applied

The 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/ug/, and the six 4.0 International parents carry exactly that pair (legal code plus deed). Added.

info Rubric 1 spdx:licenseId none

SPDX has no identifier for this port. The legal code URL implies CC-BY-3.0-UG, which the SPDX licence list does not define, so no identifier was invented. None of the forty two records in this review group has an SPDX identifier.

minor Rubric 2 odrl:target proposed

The record targets dalicc:CreativeWork only, while the 4.0 International parent CC-BY-4.0 targets dalicc:CreativeWork and dcmitype:Dataset. Creative Commons licences are media neutral and this port grants the rights in all media and formats now known or later devised, but its legal text carries no database rights clause, unlike the Portuguese, Czech and Azerbaijani ports of this review group. The definition of the licensed subject matter reaches data as well: the definition of "Work" names "a compilation of data to the extent it is protected as a copyrightable work". Aligning the ports with the parents is a single library wide decision covering every Creative Commons port, so it is left as a proposal here.

info Rubric 3 odrl:permission none

The modelled permissions follow the grant. Section 3 grants "a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license", covering reproduction, incorporation into Collections, creation and reproduction of Derivative Work with a duty to label the change, and distribution and public performance of the Work and of Derivative Work, in all media and formats whether now known or hereafter devised. The record models this as odrl:reproduce, odrl:distribute, odrl:display, odrl:present, odrl:modify, odrl:derive, cc:DerivativeWorks and dalicc:ModifiedWorks. cc:CommercialUse is permitted, which follows from the grant carrying no commercial restriction in this element set.

info Rubric 4 odrl:prohibition none

dalicc:ChangeLicense is prohibited, which the licence supports: the work may be shared only under the terms of this licence and the licensee may not offer or impose terms that alter or restrict it. dalicc:promote is prohibited, which the 3.0 text supports better than the 2.0 text did, because the no endorsement rule sits in the licence body rather than in the Creative Commons notice around it. Section 4(d): the User may not assert or imply any connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by the Original Author, Licensor or Attribution Parties.

info Rubric 5 odrl:duty none

The attribution and notice duties are present and supported: the licence requires a copy of, or the URI for, the licence with every copy shared, that the notices referring to the licence and to the warranty clause be kept intact, and that credit be given to the author and to any attribution parties. dalicc:modificationNotice is supported by the duty to take reasonable steps to label a change. The duties hang on odrl:distribute, odrl:modify and odrl:derive, which matches the licence, since they are triggered by distributing or communicating the work to the public rather than by private use. In this port the licensee is "the User" rather than "You", a derivative is a "Derivative Work" rather than an "Adaptation", and Section 2 refers the fair use rights to the Uganda Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act no.19 of 2006.

info Rubric 6 dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer none

dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer and dalicc:LiabilityLimitation are quoted verbatim from the English text of this port and not from the English unported version. They are Section 5 (Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer), which is one sentence long, and Section 6 (Limitation on Liability), each in its own field, checked sentence by sentence against the legal code.

info Rubric 6 dalicc:additionalClauses none

The clauses the ODRL policy cannot carry are not visible in the record: the reservation of unnamed rights, the direct licence that every recipient receives from the licensor, the automatic termination on breach with the survival list, the severability, waiver and entire agreement paragraphs, and the royalty collection arrangements. The whole Creative Commons family is modelled this way.

info Rubric 7 cc:jurisdiction none

cc:jurisdiction is bpicounty:Uganda, which matches the country of the legal code URL https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ug/legalcode, and dalicc:validityType is dalicc:perpetual, which matches a grant for the duration of the applicable copyright. Section 8(f) does not choose a governing law but states that the rights and subject matter were drafted with the terminology of the Uganda Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act no.19 of 2006, the Berne Convention, the Rome Convention, the WIPO Copyright Treaty, the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty and the Universal Copyright Convention, and that rights granted by national law beyond those in the Licence are deemed included. Note that the jurisdiction field records the legal home of the port, not a territorial limit: the grant itself is worldwide.

gap Rubric 8 odrl:prohibition none

The licence forbids technological protection measures and the vocabulary has no term for it. Section 4(a): the User "may not impose any effective technological measures on the Work that restrict the ability of a recipient ... to exercise the rights granted". 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 record none

The automatic termination of the licence on breach, with the survival of the definitions, the warranty and liability clauses and the miscellaneous provisions, has no vocabulary term. Proposed term: dalicc:terminationOnBreach. The direct licence that the licensor offers to every recipient of the work has none either. Proposed term: dalicc:downstreamOffer.

gap Rubric 8 record none

Moral rights have no vocabulary term. "Moral Rights remain unaffected to the extent they are recognized and are not waivable by applicable law.". Proposed terms: dalicc:moralRightsRestriction for a clause that binds the licensee and dalicc:moralRightsNonAssertion for one in which the licensor undertakes not to assert them.

gap Rubric 8 record none

The royalty collection arrangement has no vocabulary term. Section 4(e) splits royalty collection three ways, reserving it under non-waivable compulsory schemes and, for waivable compulsory and voluntary schemes, reserving it where the use is other than non-commercial; no Ugandan collecting society is named. Proposed term: dalicc:royaltyCollectionReserved, with a counterpart for the waiver. Not expressible today, and it is one of the few places where the ports of one version really differ from each other.

info Rubric 9 record none

The consistency check with the forty one axioms of licensedata/dependencygraph/dg_default.ttl reports no conflict, before and after the corrections, and the pre-review baseline listed none for this record either.

info Rubric 10 record none

Port of CC-BY-4.0, the 4.0 International record of the same element set. The deontic model of this record is identical to the parent, statement for statement: the same permissions with the same duties, the same prohibitions, the same set level duties, and only odrl:target still differs, because the parent also carries dcmitype:Dataset. 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, the royalty collection arrangement and the moral rights clause. The compatibility checker cannot tell this record from the other records of the BY element set, across all three versions and every jurisdiction the library holds.

major Rubric 7 dalicc:terminatesOnBreach applied

The termination clause of this port reads: "This Licence and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon any breach by the User of the terms of this Licence." 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 odrl:prohibition

The licence forbids sublicensing and the record does not say so. Section 4(a): "The User may not sublicense 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 the forty two ports of 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.
