The legal text was read in Norwegian. Corrections applied: dct:source, dct:title, 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 1 defines \"Frembringelse\" to reach beyond works under section 1 of the Norwegian Copyright Act to subject matter protected under \"åndsverksloven kapittel 5\", the chapter on neighbouring rights that contains the database and catalogue right of section 43. Section 3 closes with \"Dersom lisensgiver innehar databaserettigheter eller lignende i henhold til aandsverklovens section 43 og EUs databasedirektiv, fraskriver lisensgiver seg disse rettigheter\" (if the licensor holds database rights or the like under section 43 of the Copyright Act and the EU database directive, the licensor waives them). Section 4(e) adds that the restrictions do not apply to the parts that fall inside the definition only because they meet those criteria. 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.

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 prohibited rather than permitted, which is the NonCommercial element.","action":"none"},{"rubric":4,"severity":"major","field":"odrl:prohibition","description":"The licence forbids sublicensing and the record does not say so. \"Du kan ikke gi underlisenser til frembringelsen.\" Section 4(a).

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 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."}
