Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to name the party granting a licence (the odrl:assigner) — the licence-scoped specialisation of gmeow:hasParty.

Avoid when

• Avoid minting a separate granting-party model (this specialises gmeow:hasParty) and avoid conflating the licensor with the copyright holder; a licensor may grant on a holder's behalf.

How to use

• Add one or more gmeow:licensor agents to a License (non-functional for joint grants); pair with gmeow:licensee for a named recipient, or omit the licensee for an open public offer.

Examples

• ex:ccByLicense gmeow:licensor ex:blackcat.
