The legal text was read in Portuguese. Corrections applied: dct:source, odrl:target. What remains are proposals that touch the whole Creative Commons family rather than this record, chiefly the express prohibition of sublicensing.","findings":[{"rubric":1,"severity":"minor","field":"dct:source","description":"The record carried cc:legalcode but no dct:source. The legal code page states the canonical URL of the licence, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/pt/, and the six 4.0 International parents carry exactly that pair (legal code plus deed).

This port settles database rights expressly: the last sentence of Section 3 waives the sui generis right, so that where the Licensor holds the exclusive rights of Chapter III of Decreto-Lei 122/2000, which implements Directive 96/9/EC in Portuguese law, the Licensor \"declara expressamente renunciar a esses direitos\", and Section 4(e) adds that the restrictions do not apply to the parts of the Work protected only by that database maker's right. Beyond that, the definition of \"Trabalho\" in Section 1 names \"uma base de dados que, pela seleção ou disposição do respetivo conteúdo, constitua uma criação intelectual\" and \"um programa de computador\" among the licensed subject matter. Because the legal text names databases as licensed subject matter and disposes of the database maker's right in the grant itself, dcmitype:Dataset was added here rather than left as a proposal. The ports in this review group whose text has no database clause at all keep the proposal.","action":"applied","change":"odrl:target [ a odrl:AssetCollection ;\n        dct:type dalicc:CreativeWork,\n            dcmitype:Dataset ] ;"},{"rubric":3,"severity":"info","field":"odrl:permission","description":"The modelled permissions follow the grant. Section 3 grants \"uma licença de âmbito mundial, gratuita, não exclusiva, pelo período de duração do direito de autor ou direito conexo aplicável\" (a worldwide, free of charge, non-exclusive licence for the duration of the applicable copyright or neighbouring right), covering reproduction, incorporation into Collections, transformation into Derivative Works with a duty to label the change, and distribution and communication to the public of the Work and of Derivative Works, in all media and formats now known or later devised. The record models this as odrl:reproduce, odrl:distribute, odrl:display, odrl:present, odrl:modify, odrl:derive, cc:DerivativeWorks and dalicc:ModifiedWorks. cc:CommercialUse is permitted, which follows from the grant carrying no commercial restriction in this element set.","action":"none"},{"rubric":4,"severity":"major","field":"odrl:prohibition","description":"The licence forbids sublicensing and the record does not say so. Section 4(a): \"O Utilizador não pode sub-licenciar o Trabalho.\" The vocabulary already has dalicc:sublicense, but no record in the library uses it and its skos:note says so, and the same sentence stands in every Creative Commons 2.0 and 3.0 record, so adding it to the forty two ports of this review group alone would split the compatibility behaviour of one family. Proposed as one library wide correction, together with an update of the vocabulary note.","action":"superseded","superseded_by":2,"change":"odrl:prohibition [ a odrl:Prohibition ;\n        odrl:action dalicc:sublicense ] ;"},{"rubric":4,"severity":"info","field":"odrl:prohibition","description":"dalicc:ChangeLicense is prohibited, which the licence supports: the work may be shared only under the terms of this licence and the licensee may not offer or impose terms that alter or restrict it. dalicc:promote is prohibited, which the 3.0 text supports better than the 2.0 text did, because the no endorsement rule sits in the licence body rather than in the Creative Commons notice around it.

The duties hang on odrl:distribute, odrl:modify and odrl:derive, which matches the licence, since they are triggered by distributing or communicating the work to the public rather than by private use. In this port the parties are \"Licenciante\" and \"Utilizador\", credit is owed to the \"Titular Originário\", and the grant covers neighbouring rights: performances, phonograms, videograms, films and broadcasts.","action":"none"},{"rubric":6,"severity":"info","field":"dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer","description":"dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer and dalicc:LiabilityLimitation are quoted verbatim from the Portuguese text of this port and not from the English unported version.

The port names no governing law. Section 8 ends with severability, waiver and entire agreement and leaves the applicable law to the conflict rules.

Section 4(a): the Work may not be distributed or communicated to the public \"com qualquer medida tecnológica que restrinja a possibilidade do destinatário exercer os direitos\".

The deontic model of this record is identical to the parent, statement for statement: the same permissions with the same duties, the same prohibitions, the same set level duties, the same asset types too, now that the database clause of this port has brought dcmitype:Dataset into odrl:target. What differs is the jurisdiction, the language of the legal text, the clause texts and the version specific clauses of 3.0 that the model does not carry, chiefly the express prohibition of sublicensing, the technological measures clause, the royalty collection arrangement and the moral rights clause. The compatibility checker cannot tell this record from the other records of the BY element set, across all three versions and every jurisdiction the library holds.","action":"none"},{"rubric":3,"severity":"major","field":"odrl:permission","description":"The record said nothing about the sui generis database right although the port's own text settles it, which the rubric 2 finding of this review read off the legal code: the last sentence of Section 3 waives the sui generis right of Chapter III of Decreto-Lei 122/2000, which implements Directive 96/9/EC in Portuguese law, where the Licensor \"declara expressamente renunciar a esses direitos\", and the definition of Trabalho in Section 1 names \"uma base de dados que, pela seleção ou disposição do respetivo conteúdo, constitua uma criação intelectual\" among the licensed subject matter, and Section 4(e) adds that the restrictions do not apply to the parts of the Work protected only by that database maker's right. Exercising that right is therefore permitted by this licence and dalicc:suiGenerisDatabaseRights is now a permission of the record. It carries no duty, which is where the 3.0 ports part company with the 4.0 text their parent CC-BY-4.0 models: Section 4(c) of 4.0 carries the conditions of Section 3(a) over to the database layer, while this port takes its own restrictions off the material that qualifies only under the database right. Under the proposed default rule eu-sui-generis-db of licensedata/dependencygraph/dg_eu.ttl the database right is not granted unless the licence grants it, so a record that is silent reads as a licence that keeps the right back, which this text contradicts.","action":"applied","change":"odrl:permission [ a odrl:Permission ;\n        odrl:action dalicc:suiGenerisDatabaseRights ] ;"},{"rubric":7,"severity":"major","field":"dalicc:terminatesOnBreach","description":"The termination clause of this port reads: \"A presente Licença e os direitos concedidos pela mesma cessarão automaticamente em caso de qualquer violação dos termos desta Licença pelo Utilizador.\" The licence ends automatically on a breach and this version of the text has no reinstatement clause, so dalicc:terminatesOnBreach is true and no dalicc:curePeriod is written, as on the unported record of the same version.","action":"applied"}],"family":"Creative Commons 3.0 port: Portugal (PT)","port_of":"CC-BY-4.0","variant_kind":"jurisdiction-port","notes":"The parent is the 4.0 International record of the same element set, since the library holds no unported and no International 3.0 record; the version difference, 3.0 against 4.0, is therefore part of the port relation and not only the jurisdiction. The 3.0 text differs from 4.0 in substance as well: it prohibits sublicensing expressly, it forbids technological protection measures, it has no thirty day cure period for a breach, and it settles the royalty collection question and the moral rights question per jurisdiction. None of that is visible in the model. Nothing in this review is legal advice."}
