Changes to the license models

UK Open Government License for Public Sector Information version 2 2026-09-24

added SPDX identifier: "OGL-UK-3.0"

Review finding The record carried no SPDX identifier. cc:legalcode is the seeAlso URL of the SPDX entry OGL-UK-3.0, Open Government Licence v3.0, and the fetched text confirms the version. The proposal file rated this medium on the URL alone; the version statement in the document makes it certain. Added.

removed Prohibition: Add statement

Manual edit The review's finding on family consistency: the record prohibited cc:ShareAlike and dalicc:addStatement although the licence prescribes an attribution statement and says nothing about share-alike, and it did not state the database right although the licence covers 'copyright and database right material'.

UK Open Government License for Public Sector Information version 2 2026-09-24

changed Permission: Distribute, with the duties Attribution, Notice

was Permission: Distribute, with the duties Attribution

Review finding The licence requires two things when the information is used and the record modelled only one. Section "You must (where you do any of the above)": "acknowledge the source of the Information in your product or application by including or linking to any attribution statement specified by the Information Provider(s) and, where possible, provide a link to this licence", with the default statement "Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0." cc:Attribution was attached to cc:DerivativeWorks and odrl:distribute; cc:Notice was missing everywhere, although the attribution statement is itself a licence notice and the licence asks for a link to itself. Added next to cc:Attribution in both permissions, which is how the sibling record NCGL-UK-2.0 models the same sentence.

Manual edit Removed the quoted evidence of duty cc:Attribution on cc:DerivativeWorks, duty cc:Attribution on odrl:distribute: the quoted sentence does not name the act. The statements stay, read from the text without a linked quote.

UK Open Government License for Public Sector Information version 2 2026-09-24

added Permission: Extract or reuse a substantial part of a database

Manual edit The review's finding on family consistency: the record prohibited cc:ShareAlike and dalicc:addStatement although the licence prescribes an attribution statement and says nothing about share-alike, and it did not state the database right although the licence covers 'copyright and database right material'.

UK Open Government License for Public Sector Information version 2 2026-09-24

added Permission: Modified works

Review finding dalicc:ModifiedWorks, distributing a modified version and making it available to the public, was missing although the licence permits adapting the Information and publishing, distributing and transmitting it in the same list, and the sibling record NCGL-UK-2.0 carries the permission on the identical wording. Added.

UK Open Government License for Public Sector Information version 2 2026-09-24

added Permission: Change license, with the duties Use a compliant 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: "The Licensor grants you a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use the Information subject to the conditions below." The permission carries the dalicc:compliantLicense duty, as Apache-2.0 does, because the notice has to survive the relicensing.

UK Open Government License for Public Sector Information version 2 2026-09-24

changed Permission: Change license, with the duties Use a compliant license

was Permission: Change license, with the duties Use a compliant 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. Its duty dalicc:compliantLicense is marked as a library convention, family rule 15: Permissive records permit relicensing.

Review finding The licence requires two things when the information is used and the record modelled only one. Section "You must (where you do any of the above)": "acknowledge the source of the Information in your product or application by including or linking to any attribution statement specified by the Information Provider(s) and, where possible, provide a link to this licence", with the default statement "Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0." cc:Attribution was attached to cc:DerivativeWorks and odrl:distribute; cc:Notice was missing everywhere, although the attribution statement is itself a licence notice and the licence asks for a link to itself.

The zlib libpng License version 2 2026-09-24

added SPDX identifier: "Zlib"

Review finding Added Zlib. Verified rather than taken on trust: cc:legalcode already points at the Open Source Initiative page that the SPDX entry lists under seeAlso, and the fetched text is the same three-restriction license.

The text reads: "Permission is granted to anyone to use this software for any purpose, including commercial applications, and to alter it and redistribute it freely, subject to the following restrictions: 1. The origin of this software must not be misrepresented; you must not claim that you wrote the original software." The permission carries the dalicc:compliantLicense duty, as Apache-2.0 does, because the notice has to survive the relicensing.

removed Publisher: "N.N."

Manual edit Library conventions 10 and 14: the disclaimer held both sentences of the zlib notice, the second beginning 'In no event will the authors be held liable for any damages arising from the use of this software', and dct:publisher was the placeholder 'N.N.'.

Manual edit The alternative name "Libpng" is dropped. The SPDX license list gives that identifier to a different text, the libpng notice, which the library now holds as the record Libpng, so a lookup for the name reached the wrong licence.

The Universal Permissive License (UPL), Version 1.0 version 2 2026-09-24

added SPDX identifier: "UPL-1.0"

Review finding Added UPL-1.0. The record title, dct:alternative and dct:source (the Open Source Initiative page for UPL) all agree with the SPDX entry.

The Universal Permissive License (UPL), Version 1.0 version 2 2026-09-24

removed Prohibition: Promote

Manual edit The endorsement prohibition rested on no sentence of the text; the default rule for endorsement now supplies it.

The Universal Permissive License (UPL), Version 1.0 version 2 2026-09-24

removed Prohibition: Share alike

Review finding The grant ends "and to sublicense the foregoing rights on either these or other terms", so relicensing under this same license is expressly allowed. Prohibiting cc:ShareAlike asserted the opposite. cc:ShareAlike is a duty term and a permissive license that is silent about reciprocity must carry no share-alike statement at all. Removed. Flagged by the family conventions checked before the review.

The Universal Permissive License (UPL), Version 1.0 version 2 2026-09-24

added Permission: Change license, with the duties Use a compliant 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: "This license is subject to the following condition: The above copyright notice and either this complete permission notice or at a minimum a reference to the UPL must be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software." The permission carries the dalicc:compliantLicense duty, as Apache-2.0 does, because the notice has to survive the relicensing.
