added SPDX identifier: "WTFPL"

Review finding Added the SPDX list id WTFPL.

WTFPL version 2 2026-09-24

added Permission: Grant use

Review finding Added odrl:grantUse. Term 0 grants everything without reservation, and passing the rights on to a third party is part of "what the fuck you want to".

WTFPL version 2 2026-09-24

changed Permission: Change license

was Permission: Change license

Manual edit The statement is marked as a library convention, family rule 15: Permissive records permit relicensing: the text does not state it in as many words.

W3C Software and Document Notice and License version 2 2026-09-24

added SPDX identifier: "W3C-20150513"

Review finding Added W3C-20150513. Verified rather than assumed: cc:legalcode is exactly the URL the SPDX entry lists under seeAlso, and the fetched page states "This license was in effect between 13 May 2015 and 31 December 2022", which is the 2015-05-13 edition SPDX names.

W3C Software and Document Notice and License version 2 2026-09-24

removed Prohibition: Change license

Manual edit Permit relicensing on permissive licences; the notice clause is a duty, not a bar. Library convention 15: a licence that asks for no reciprocity and no source code asks only that the notice travels with the copy, which is a duty on the acts it governs and not a bar on putting the copy under other terms. dalicc:ChangeLicense is therefore a permission here, and the prohibition the record carried before is removed. The text reads: "Permission to copy, modify, and distribute this work, with or without modification, for any purpose and without fee or royalty is hereby granted, provided that you include the following on ALL copies of the work or portions thereof, including modifications: The full text of this NOTICE in a location viewable to users of the redistributed or derivative work." The permission carries the dalicc:compliantLicense duty, as Apache-2.0 does, because the notice has to survive the relicensing.

Review finding The grant reads: "Permission to copy, modify, and distribute this work, with or without modification, for any purpose and without fee or royalty is hereby granted". "For any purpose" includes commercial purposes, and the record's own dalicc:additionalClauses already says so in prose. cc:CommercialUse was not permitted. Added.
