Install some/all Creative Commons licenses by default in new installations #8347
Comments
The plan with Mercé was to provide CC0 and CCBY, along with the "custom" option. |
As someone who added CC-BY in a fork due to the overwhelming demand by our researchers, I second @TaniaSchlatter and @mercecrosas proposal to include CC-BY 4.0 as a default. It would be nice to have kind of "collections" (different licenses in a JSON file) for convenience: you want common data licenses? Load this one. Future: you want popular/common software licenses? Load this one. Etc. |
We at the https://lida.dataverse.lt use CC BY-SA 4.0 by default. |
We use templates at Scholars Portal, and have the following options (which were developed in consultation with our community):
|
- CC BY is now available for new installations. - New "Configuring Licenses" section added to Installation Guide. - JSON files for all Creative Commons licenses are downloadable. - URL fixed in licenseCC-BY-NC-ND-4.0.json. - Various cleanup of typos, formatting, etc.
This is what I went with in pull request #8423 but the main addition is more documentation for how to configure licenses. Feedback on that pull request is welcome! Thank you to everyone we replied here and at https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community/c/YM8IBUtOlnA/m/r0WQhBaGAwAJ |
add CC BY, improve license config docs #8347
Overview of the Feature Request
For increased backward compatibility, the pull request to add support for multiple licenses in Dataverse does not add any other than CC0 1.0 - the 'CC0 Waiver' license that has been the only choice. For new installations, it probably makes more sense to default to a good set of licenses from the start to avoid admins having to do the extra work to set them up.
#7920 includes an API to add licenses and json blocks for the Creative Commons licenses in the format used in the API (json files are in scripts/api/data/licenses right now). This request would mean adding API calls to add those licenses as part of first-time installation of Dataverse.
Note: Whether all CreativeCommons licenses should be added by default, or whether other licenses should also be in the list is a matter the community may want to discuss.
What inspired the request?
