== Header color-coding not correct ==
+
==3.0 Unported (International) license suite==
−
The headers of the legalcode are color-coded to indicate the relative openness of the licenses.  A green header means more open, and this is only applied to the BY and BY-SA licenses. The BY-NC, BY-NC-ND, BY-NC-SA and BY-ND legalcode should have a yellow header.

* '''Incorrect section reference.''' Section 1(b) of BY-SA cites Section 1(f); it should cite Section 1(h).

** BY-SA 1(b)
−
* by-nc, by-nc-nd, by-nc-sa, by-nd 3.0 gt (Guatemala)

* '''Incorrect word.''' Section 1(b) of BY-SA says that Adaptation is defined "below"; this should read "above".

=== "Creative Commons Compatible License" Clause ===
 
−
In BY-SA licenses, the "Creative Commons Compatible License" clause in Section 1 should make reference to "Unported" license, as in the example from BY SA 3.0 US: "(ii) explicitly permits the relicensing of derivatives of works made available under that license under this License or either a Creative Commons ''Unported'' license or a Creative Commons jurisdiction license with the same License Elements as this License."

=== Incorrect reference to "the Applicable License" ===
 
−
Some 3.0 BY-SA and BY-NC-SA licenses (all English licenses ''except'' Australia 3.0) incorrectly refer to "the Applicable License" or "Applicable License" instead of "this License" in section 4(b).  In Unported BY-NC-SA, this is in the fourth sentence where the license reads "You must keep intact all notices that refer to the Applicable License and to the disclaimer of warranties with every copy of the Work..."  In Unported BY-SA, this is in the third sentence, "(III) You must keep intact all notices that refer to the Applicable License and to the disclaimer of warranties with every copy of the Work..."

Section 4(b)positioning of lowercase (i)
+
* '''Incorrect reference to "the Applicable License".''' In section 4(b), a reference to "the Applicable License" should instead be to "this License": "You must keep intact all notices that refer to the Applicable License and to the disclaimer of warranties" should read "You must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties".

**BY-SA 4(b), BY-NC-SA 4(b)
−
* BY-NC-SA: "only under: (i) the terms of this License"
+
* '''Missing "the".''' In section 4(b) of BY-NC-SA, there is a sentence reading in part "must include a copy of, or the URI, for Applicable License with every copy". This excerpt should instead read "must include a copy of, or the URI for, the Applicable License with every copy".
−
 
+
**BY-NC-SA 4(b)
−
 
+
* '''Missing "the".''' In Section 4(b) of BY-NC-ND, "if a credit for all contributing authors of Collection appears" should read "if a credit for all contributing authors of the Collection appears".
−
Section 4(b)"the" included or not
+
**BY-NC-ND, 4(b)
−
* BY-SA: "You must include a copy of, or the URI for, the Applicable License with every copy"
+
* '''Missing numerals and capitalization.''' In section 4(b) of BY-NC-SA, each condition should be numbered with uppercase roman numerals. Additionally, the beginning of item (IV) should be capitalized. (The passage should read: "(I) You must include a copy of[...]"; "(II) You may not offer[...]"; "(III) You must keep intact[...]"; "(IV) When You Distribute[...]")

Section 4(b)Numerals in BY-SA only
+
* '''Capitalization.''' "Collection" should be lowercase both times in the last sentence of Section 4(b) in BY-SA; the excerpts should read "as incorporated in a collection" and "does not require the collection apart from the Adaptation itself".
−
* BY-SA:"(I) You must include a copy of"
+
** BY-SA 4(b)
−
* BY-NC-SA:"You must include a copy of"

* '''Comma placement.''' In the BY-NC and BY-NC-SA licenses, a comma is incorrectly placed. The text reading "and, (iv) consistent with Section 3(b)" should instead read "and (iv), consistent with Section 3(b)".
−
 
+
** BY-NC 4(c), BY-NC-SA 4(d).
−
* BY-SA: "every copy of the Work You Distribute or Publicly Perform; (II) You may not offer"

* '''Extra hyphen.''' In Section 4(c) of BY-NC-SA, "con-nection" is an error, and should be written as "connection" instead.
−
* BY-NC-SA: "every copy of the Work You Distribute or Publicly Perform. You may not"
+
** BY-NC-SA 4(c)
−
 
+
* '''Typographical error: "Ssection".''' In Section 4(c), BY-SA contains the text "consistent with Ssection 3(b)"; "Ssection" should be "Section".
−

+
** BY-SA 4(c).
−
* BY-NC-SA: "the terms of the Applicable License. You must keep intact all notices"

−
* BY-SA: "You Distribute or Publicly Perform; (IV) when You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Adaptation"

−
* BY-NC-SA fourth sentence where the license reads "You must keep intact all notices that refer to the Applicable License and to the disclaimer of warranties..." should read "You must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties..."

−
* 4(b) has a mix-up in where the lower case roman numerals begin.  It says "You may Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation only under: (i) the terms of this License; (ii) a later version" instead of "only under the terms of: (i) this License; (ii)".  BY-SA is correct.
 
−
*4(b) is missing the word "the" and has a misplaced comma.  It says "You must include a copy of, or the URI, for Applicable License with every copy of" instead of "or the URI for, the Applicable License".  BY-SA has the "the".

−
* 4(b) does not have the upper case roman numerals present in the BY-SA license.  Instead of a full stop (.), each clause should end with a semi-colon (;) and be followed by the proper uppercase roman numeral.  The numerals and sentences correspond as follows:
 
−
** (I) You must include a copy of...

−
 
 
−
If You create a Collective Work, upon request from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, include or remove from the Collective Work any credit required by clause 4(c).

Revision as of 16:46, 3 June 2014

Despite our best efforts, spelling errors and other errata are sometimes included in the published legal code for licenses. However, Creative Commons does not amend legal code once published so that the licenses remain static, and not a moving target. This wiki page collects known errata for license legal code. If you discover a spelling error on a license, please record it here.

Errors by license

4.0 international license suite (English)

Validated HTML

As originally published, the HTML for the license files did not validate. This was corrected; however, those with older copies of this file will have the incorrect file.

3.0 Unported (International) license suite

Section 1

  • Incorrect section reference. Section 1(b) of BY-SA cites Section 1(f); it should cite Section 1(h).
    • BY-SA 1(b)
  • Incorrect word. Section 1(b) of BY-SA says that Adaptation is defined "below"; this should read "above".
    • BY-SA 1(b)

Section 2

Section 3

  • Inconsistent language. In Section 3(d), BY-SA uses "described" instead of "set forth".
    • BY-NC-SA 3(d)
  • Section 8(f) reference incorrect; missing word. These sections include a reference to Section 8(f); they should instead refer to Section 8(e). Additionally, BY-NC-ND omits the word "Section", which should be present.
    • BY-ND 3(c)(iii), BY-NC-ND 3(b).

Section 4

  • Incorrect reference to "the Applicable License". In section 4(b), a reference to "the Applicable License" should instead be to "this License": "You must keep intact all notices that refer to the Applicable License and to the disclaimer of warranties" should read "You must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties".
    • BY-SA 4(b), BY-NC-SA 4(b)
  • Missing "the". In section 4(b) of BY-NC-SA, there is a sentence reading in part "must include a copy of, or the URI, for Applicable License with every copy". This excerpt should instead read "must include a copy of, or the URI for, the Applicable License with every copy".
    • BY-NC-SA 4(b)
  • Missing "the". In Section 4(b) of BY-NC-ND, "if a credit for all contributing authors of Collection appears" should read "if a credit for all contributing authors of the Collection appears".
    • BY-NC-ND, 4(b)
  • Missing numerals and capitalization. In section 4(b) of BY-NC-SA, each condition should be numbered with uppercase roman numerals. Additionally, the beginning of item (IV) should be capitalized. (The passage should read: "(I) You must include a copy of[...]"; "(II) You may not offer[...]"; "(III) You must keep intact[...]"; "(IV) When You Distribute[...]")
    • BY-NC-SA 4(b)
  • Numbering of list items. In Section 4(b) of BY-NC-SA, "only under: (i) the terms of this License" should instead read "only under the terms of: (i) this License".
    • BY-NC-SA 4(b)
  • Capitalization. "Collection" should be lowercase both times in the last sentence of Section 4(b) in BY-SA; the excerpts should read "as incorporated in a collection" and "does not require the collection apart from the Adaptation itself".
    • BY-SA 4(b)
  • Comma placement. In the BY-NC and BY-NC-SA licenses, a comma is incorrectly placed. The text reading "and, (iv) consistent with Section 3(b)" should instead read "and (iv), consistent with Section 3(b)".
    • BY-NC 4(c), BY-NC-SA 4(d).
  • Extra hyphen. In Section 4(c) of BY-NC-SA, "con-nection" is an error, and should be written as "connection" instead.
    • BY-NC-SA 4(c)
  • Typographical error: "Ssection". In Section 4(c), BY-SA contains the text "consistent with Ssection 3(b)"; "Ssection" should be "Section".
    • BY-SA 4(c).
  • Incorrect subsection reference. Section 4(d)(iii) of BY-NC references 4(c). It should reference 4(b).
    • BY-NC 4(d)(iii)
  • Typographical error. In Section 4, several licenses refer to "a Adaptation"; this should be "an Adaptation".
    • BY 4(b), BY-NC, BY-SA 4(c), BY-NC-SA 4(d)

Section 5

  • Omitted phrase. The phrase "And to the Fullest Extent Permitted by Applicable Law," should appear before "Licensor Offers the Work As-Is and Makes No Representations".
    • BY, BY-SA, BY-NC, BY-ND, BY-NC-ND
  • Omitted word ("to"). In BY-NC-ND, "Unless Otherwise Mutually Agreed By the Parties" should read "Unless Otherwise Mutually Agreed To By the Parties".
    • BY-NC-ND
  • Spelling. "Merchantability" is misspelled as "Merchantibility" in five licenses.
    • BY, BY-NC, BY-SA, BY-ND, BY-NC-ND.
  • Inconsistent language. BY-NC-SA includes the text "This Exclusion May Not Apply To You"; it should read "Such Exclusion May Not Apply To You".
    • BY-NC-SA
  • Typographical error. Section 5 contains the text "OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS". This should read "OR THE PRESENCE OF ERRORS".
    • All six licenses.

Notice

  • Incorrect word. In the last paragraph, "this trademark restriction does not form part of the License" should read "this trademark restriction does not form part of this License".
