The legal text was read in French. 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.

This port settles the sui generis database right expressly. Section 3 grants \"Lorsque l'Oeuvre est une base de donnees, extraire et reutiliser des parties substantielles de l'Oeuvre\" and closes with \"Si le Donneur de Licence est le titulaire de droits de base de donnees sui generis suivant la transposition en droit national de la Directive Europeenne sur les Bases de Donnees, le Donneur de Licence renonce a ces droits\". Section 4(f) adds that the restrictions of 4(a) and 4(b) do not apply to the parts of an Oeuvre that fall inside the definition only because they are governed by that sui generis right. 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, which is how the same question was decided for the Portuguese, Czech and Azerbaijani ports. The ports in this review group whose text has no database clause at all, Ecuador and Brazil, 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 (Octroi de la Licence) grants \"une licence mondiale, gratuite, non exclusive et perpetuelle (pour la duree du droit d'auteur applicable)\" covering reproduction, incorporation into Collections, distribution and public performance, and the technical modifications needed to exercise those rights, and then says in so many words that nothing further may be done. The record models this as odrl:reproduce, odrl:distribute, odrl:display, odrl:present and dalicc:ModifiedWorks, with odrl:derive and cc:DerivativeWorks moved to odrl:prohibition, which is the NoDerivatives pattern of the 4.0 parent CC-BY-NC-ND-4.0. cc:CommercialUse is prohibited rather than permitted, which is the NonCommercial element.","action":"none"},{"rubric":3,"severity":"major","field":"odrl:permission","description":"A NoDerivatives record that permits modification.

The 4.0 International parent CC-BY-NC-ND-4.0 is modelled the same way and its own review record carries the same finding, so this belongs in one sweep over every NoDerivatives record of the library rather than in a change to this file.

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-NC-ND-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.

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. This port is a translation as well as a jurisdiction port, so dalicc:translationOf would fit it when the term exists. Nothing in this review is legal advice."}
