allow CC-BY-share alike licenses

[silberzwiebel]

Is there any particular reason for not having the "share alike" versions of the CC licenses? I'd like to use the CC-BY-SA 4.0. Thanks for considering!

@silberzwiebel, This will get better visibility if you move your issue here: https://github.com/CenterForOpenScience/list-of-licenses. If this is really important to you, I recommend putting in a PR.

[silberzwiebel]

Thanks. There is an already merged PR with the CC-BY-SA 4.0. What to do in order to make that license available on the OSF / thesis commons live version?

Sorry for the delay here, @silberzwiebel! I don't know of any particular reason for not including the ShareAlike licenses. Can you specify whether you want these licenses to be made available on OSF projects or preprints? Or both?

I'll record your request for adding these to our internal tracker. If/when we offer the ShareAlike licenses, we will let you know!

[silberzwiebel]

Thanks. As I personally like the ShareAlike license, I'd like to see them available everywhere ;). My particular use case is with the Thesis Commons page, not sure in which category (project/preprint) this fits.

[BRosenblatt]

Great, thank you! This is very helpful. Thesis Commons would be the preprint side-of-things, but I'll also add your request to apply to both Thesis Commons and projects, alike. Thanks!
