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.

Patent license ends if you sue: Yes. Not a ban on suing: a patent claim over the work ends the patent license, or the whole license, as the text provides.
Cure period: 30 days
Field of use restriction: any use other than making the functionality of the software available to third parties as a service or in a distributed form that gives them that functionality
Governing law: the law of the State of California, the State of Israel or England and Wales, according to where the licensee is located
Terminates on breach: Yes

Findings: 13 recorded, 9 applied to the record, 0 proposed

The record models the Redis Source Available License 2.0. It is built on the same skeleton as the Elastic License 2.0 and grants the same acts, with one limitation that goes further: you may not make the functionality available to third parties as a service, and you may not distribute the software in a way that gives them that functionality either. It is not an open source licence. The licence also picks a governing law that depends on where the licensee is.

13 findings

info Rubric 1 spdx:licenseId applied

File name, record identifier and IRI local name agree. The triple is left out: the SPDX list does not carry this licence and no identifier is invented. cc:legalcode points at the file the publisher ships and dct:source at the same file's page. dct:publisher is Redis Ltd., which the definition of Licensor names.
minor Rubric 1 cc:legalcode applied

The file the text comes from holds three licences, this one and then the Server Side Public License and the GNU Affero General Public License, because the project offers a choice between them. Only the first part is modelled here; the other two have their own records.
info Rubric 2 odrl:target applied

dcmitype:Software only. The text defines the Software as components designed to work with the publisher's database.
major Rubric 3 odrl:permission applied

'The Licensor grants You a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to use, copy, distribute, make available, and prepare derivative works of the Software.' That gives odrl:reproduce, odrl:distribute, odrl:modify, odrl:derive, cc:DerivativeWorks and dalicc:ModifiedWorks, and the Patents section gives dalicc:patentGrant. cc:CommercialUse is permitted, because the limitation is about offering the software itself to third parties and not about earning money with it.
minor Rubric 3 odrl:distribute applied

odrl:distribute stays permitted although the limitation also bars distributing 'in a manner that makes the functionality of the Software available to third parties'. The grant names distribution expressly, and the limitation qualifies the manner rather than withdrawing the act, so the act is permitted and the limitation is quoted and named in dalicc:fieldOfUseRestriction. A reader has to weigh the two.
major Rubric 4 odrl:prohibition applied

dalicc:sublicense for 'non-sublicensable'. dalicc:ChangeLicense for 'The terms and conditions of this Agreement do not imply any Licenses other than those expressly granted in this Agreement', read with the Notices section. dalicc:promote, because no trademark rights are granted and 'Any use of the Licensor's Trademarks is subject to applicable law'. dalicc:patentRetaliationTermination for the written-claim sentence of the Patents section.
major Rubric 5 odrl:duty applied

cc:Notice and cc:ShareAlike on odrl:distribute for 'You must ensure that anyone who gets a copy of any part of the Software from You also gets a copy of the terms and conditions in this Agreement', and dalicc:modificationNotice added on odrl:modify and odrl:derive for the prominent-notice sentence.
major Rubric 6 dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer applied

The No Liability section is one sentence covering warranty and liability, quoted whole into dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer as in CAL-1.0 and Elastic-2.0. Thirteen further clauses are quoted in dalicc:additionalClauses, including all three governing-law paragraphs.
major Rubric 7 dalicc:governingLaw applied

dalicc:governingLaw is a single literal naming the three laws the text picks between, because the property takes one short literal and the choice depends on where the licensee is: California for Asia, the Pacific and the Americas, Israel for Israel, England and Wales for Europe, the United Kingdom, the Middle East and Africa. All three paragraphs are quoted. cc:jurisdiction stays dalicc:worldwide, because the grant says worldwide; the governing law is not the territory of the grant. dalicc:terminatesOnBreach is true with a 30 day cure.
gap Rubric 8 dalicc:fieldOfUseRestriction none

The service bar has no term. dalicc:fieldOfUseRestriction is the nearest literal and the clause is quoted in full. Proposed term: dalicc:competingServiceRestriction, the same term Elastic-2.0 needs, with a note that this text extends it to distribution that has the same effect.
gap Rubric 8 dalicc:governingLaw none

The governing law depends on the licensee's location, which the property cannot express: it takes one literal and says nothing about who the licensee is. Proposed term: dalicc:governingLawByLocation, an annotation that pairs a territory of the licensee with the law that then governs. dalicc:governmentRightsLimitation is the only existing property that makes the governing law depend on who the licensee is, and it is about governments, so it is not used here.
info Rubric 9 record none

The consistency check of app.services.composer, run against licensedata/dependencygraph/dg_default.ttl, returned no conflicts.
major Rubric 10 record none

Against Elastic-2.0 this record differs in three places: it has no licence-key clause, so no gap is recorded for circumventing one; its service bar also reaches distribution; and it carries dalicc:governingLaw, which Elastic-2.0 does not. The statement sets are otherwise the same.

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.

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 and removed the quotes that do not name the act they support.

- changed permission odrl:reproduce
  
  was permission odrl:reproduce
  
  Manual edit The statement now quotes the sentence of the licence text it rests on: "The Licensor grants You a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to use, copy, distribute, make available, and prepare derivative works of the Software, in each case subject to the limitations and conditions below."
- changed prohibition dalicc:ChangeLicense
  
  was prohibition dalicc:ChangeLicense
  
  Manual edit The statement now quotes the sentence of the licence text it rests on: "The terms and conditions of this Agreement do not imply any Licenses other than those expressly granted in this Agreement."
- added dct:license <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/>
  
  Manual edit Every record is published under CC BY 4.0. cc:license names the record DALICC keeps of that licence; dct:license now names it by the address Creative Commons publishes it at, so that a consumer matching the canonical IRI finds it.
- changed prohibition dalicc:ChangeLicense
  
  was prohibition dalicc:ChangeLicense
  
  Manual edit Removed the quoted evidence of prohibition dalicc:ChangeLicense: the quoted sentence does not name the act. The statements stay, read from the text without a linked quote.

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.
