*The tone and scope of the licenses differ.  The FAL is written more broadly and in general terms, and is designed for use with creative works protected by copyright. BY-SA is written in more specific terms, and is designed for use with creative works as well as material restricted by other rights closely related to copyright, such as databases protected by a sui generis right. Although the FAL licenses only copyright, it does have a provision preventing licensors from using related rights to prevent exercise of the rights granted under the license. BY-SA, on the other hand, contains an open ended definition of the rights that are licensed, but expressly excludes certain types of rights from the reach of the license.<ref>The rights expressly excluded from the license are moral rights, publicity, privacy and personality rights, and patent and trademark rights.  The licensor waives and/or cannot assert all of these rights except patent and trademark rights.</ref> As to those rights that are licensed, BY-SA requires compliance with its conditions (attribution, ShareAlike) even when those rights, and not copyright, are implicated.

“Mulan Open Works License Attribution-ShareAlike, Version 1” (MulanOWL BY-SA v1, http://openworks.mulanos.cn/#/licenses/MulanOWL_BY-SA-v1) and “Mulan Open Works License Attribution-PatentLicensed-ShareAlike, Version 1” (MulanOWL BY-PL-SA v1, http://openworks.mulanos.cn/#/licenses/MulanOWL_BY-PL-SA-v1) were published in 2022. MulanOWL BY-SA v1 and MulanOWL BY-PL-SA v1 are copyright licenses with a ShareAlike mechanism and an attribution mechanism, and they do not violate the definition of Free Cultural Licenses. Thus, it satisfies the minimum criteria for compatibility set forth in our ShareAlike compatibility criteria. Overall, the MulanOWL BY-SA v1 and MulanOWL BY-PL-SA v1 are similar to CC BY-SA 4.0, and the effect of each license as applied to a creative work is largely the same. Inevitably, there are differences between the licenses, which are explained in more detail below.

Summary of comparison: MulanOWL BY-SA v1 and MulanOWL BY-PL-SA v1[1] and BY-SA 4.0

  • The specific attribution and marking requirements in the two licenses vary slightly. CC BY-SA has more total necessary elements for proper attribution, but allows for more flexibility depending on the context in which the work is used.
  • MulanOWL BY-SA v1 and MulanOWL BY-PL-SA v1 do not terminate even upon breach, as long as the breach was cured prior to, or within 30 days of, receiving notice of termination. CC BY-SA terminates automatically upon breach, but is reinstated automatically if the breach is cured within 30 days of discovery.
