SUN PUBLIC LICENSE Version 1.0 version 2 2026-09-24

added SPDX identifier: "SPL-1.0"

Statistics Canada Open Licence Agreement version 2 2026-09-24

removed Prohibition: Modify

Review finding odrl:derive and odrl:modify were modelled as prohibitions, which contradicts the grant. The Licence Grant section reads: "Statistics Canada grants you a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to: use, reproduce, publish, freely distribute, or sell the Information; use, reproduce, publish, freely distribute, or sell Value-added Products; and, sublicence any or all such rights, under terms consistent with this licence", and Value-added Products are defined as "any products you have produced by adapting or incorporating the Information, in whole or in part, in accordance with this licence". The two prohibitions were removed and the corresponding permissions added, together with cc:DerivativeWorks and dalicc:ModifiedWorks, since publishing, distributing and selling Value-added Products is expressly granted.

Statistics Canada Open Licence Agreement 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: "The Information Provider grants you a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use, and to sublicence any or all such rights, under terms consistent with this licence." The permission carries the dalicc:compliantLicense duty, as Apache-2.0 does, because the notice has to survive the relicensing.
