Changes to the license models
What DALICC changed in its curated models, when, and why.
A license model is corrected when a reading of the legal text turns out to be wrong. Every correction changes what the compatibility checker answers, so each change below names the reason behind it and links to the record it was made on.

Mozilla Public License Version 2.0 version 2 2026-09-24
added Permission: Sublicense

Section 2.1 grants the right to 'use, reproduce, make available, modify, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise exploit its Contributions', which is the derivative-works permission; section 3.2(a) lets the distributor pass on the source 'at a charge no more than the cost of distribution to the recipient', which is the distribution fee; and section 3.2(b) lets the distributor 'distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this License, or sublicense it under different terms', which is the sublicensing permission.

Mozilla Public License Version 2.0 version 2 2026-09-24
added Permission: Commercial use
Review finding Section 2.1(a) grants a "world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license ... to use, reproduce, make available, modify, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise exploit its Contributions". "Otherwise exploit" with no field-of-use limit is a commercial grant, and section 3.2 contemplates charging for a distribution. The record did not permit cc:CommercialUse, which made a widely used permissive-leaning copyleft license look non-commercial. Added.
