Field notes
The homepage describes a library of 290 licenses and 289 jurisdiction ports, with each port assigned its own address and grouped under its source license. Its listed tools include a rule-based composer, text-to-license and license-to-text conversion, compatibility comparisons, and repository dependency checks; the dependency-graph viewer and editor expose the reasoning structure behind checks. The current dalicc-dev.net environment is explicitly experimental, and accounts are invitation-only for drafting, publishing, personal dependency graphs, and token-based API use.
