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.
