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.

Italics

On 2019 September 24, we discovered that Section 2a5 of the 4.0 licenses had become italicized through unknown means. It was investigated and reversed back to its original formatting on 2019 November 12.

3.0 Unported (International) license suite

Section 1

• 不正确的部分参考。Section 1(b) of BY-SA cites Section 1(f); it should cite Section 1(h).
• 不正确的单词。Section 1(b) of BY-SA says that Adaptation is defined “below”; this should read “above”.

Section 3

• Inconsistent language. In Section 3(d), BY-NC-SA uses “described” instead of “set forth”.
• Section 8(f) reference incorrect; missing word.BY-NC-ND第3(b)条和BY-ND第3c(iii)条包括对第8(f)条的引用;它们应转而提及第8(e)条。此外，BY-NC-ND省略了应该出现的“Section”一词。

Section 4

• 不正确地引用“适用的许可证”。In section 4(b) of BY-SA and BY-NC-SA, 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”.
• 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”.
• 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”.
• 缺少数字和大写。在BY-NC-SA第4(b)节中，每个条件都应该用大写罗马数字编号。此外，第(四)项的开头应大写。(这段话应该读成:“(I)你必须附上一份[…]”;“(二)贵方不得提供[…]”;“(三)必须保持完整[…]”;“(IV) When You Distribute[…]”)
• 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”.
• Capitalization.BY-SA第4(b)条最后一句中的“集合”两次小写;摘录应读作“作为合集”，且“除改编本本身外不需要合集”。
• 逗号的位置。In Section 4(c) of BY-NC and 4(d) of 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)”.
• Extra hyphen.In Section 4(c) of BY-NC-SA, “con-nection” is an error, and should be written as “connection” instead.
• Typographical error: “Ssection”.In Section 4(c), BY-SA contains the text “consistent with Ssection 3(b)”; “Ssection” should be “Section”.
• 不正确的分段参考。Section 4(d)(iii) of BY-NC references 4(c). It should reference 4(b).
• Typographical error.In Section 4, BY, BY-NC, BY-SA, and BY-NC-SA refer to “a Adaptation”; this should be “an Adaptation”.
• Extra bracket.Section 4(b)(iii) of BY-SA has an extra bracket at the end of a parenthetical.

Section 5

• 省略了短语。In BY, BY-SA, BY-NC, BY-ND, BY-NC-ND, the phrase “And to the Fullest Extent Permitted by Applicable Law,” should appear before “Licensor Offers the Work As-Is and Makes No Representations”.
• Omitted word (“to”).在By - nc - nd中，“除非双方另有一致同意”应为“除非双方另有一致同意”。
• Spelling.在BY、BY- nc、BY- sa、BY- nd和BY- nc - nd中，“Merchantability”被错拼为“merchantbility”。
• 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”.
• Typographical error.In all six licenses,Section 5 contains the text “OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS”. This should read “OR THE PRESENCE OF ERRORS”.

Notice

• 不正确的单词。在最后一段，“本商标限制不构成本许可证的一部分”应改为“本商标限制不构成本许可证的一部分”。
