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.

    Port relation The 2026-09-15 review made the relation between a jurisdiction port and the record it was adapted from explicit in the data.

  • GNU General Public License, Version 2 version 2 2026-09-24

    added Terminates On Breach: "true"

    Manual edit The licence ends on breach and the record now says so. Section 4: "Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License." LGPL-2.1-only already carried the flag on the same sentence of its own section 8.
