DEVELOPMENT VERSION: This is an experimental DALICC environment. Features, data and APIs may change or be reset without notice. A stable version of this service, with a potentially different feature set, will be made available soon at dalicc.net.

Changes to the license models


What DALICC changed in its curated models, when, and why.

A license model is corrected when a reading of the legal text turns out to be wrong. Every correction changes what the compatibility checker answers, so each change below names the reason behind it and links to the record it was made on.

  • 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.

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

    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.

  • 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.
