[Rdap] Rights fields for data repositories

[Daureen Nesdill]

Thanks for all your input.
Guess it would be best to wait a week to see what happens in Montreal before making a decision.

Dear Daureen,

We accept both data and software in our repository so we have a whole list of licenses (most of the non-CC licenses are targeted at software).  At the moment we offer:

Apache License, 2.0
BSD 3-Clause
GNU GPL
GNU LGPL
CC-BY
CC-BY-NC
CC0
Other

We’ve picked some of the more popular license to try to avoid having a super-long list of licenses (like Zenodo).  At the same time, our list is still kind of long.  One of the future developments for our repository is the ability to offer more guidance around license selection (like https://choosealicense.com/).  We’ve also left an “other” option because we have found some groups want custom licensing terms. The RDA legal interoperability group is looking into research data licenses that go beyond CC next week (https://www.rd-alliance.org/ig-rdacodata-legal-interoperability-rda-10th-plenary-meeting-open), so there may be even more options coming.

Best,

Hi all,
For our new data repository, we are having submitters select the rights to their works based on Creative Commons.
That is until we accepted something from a computer science student and he used something from GitHub
I did a google search and found MIT license https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT , It’s FOSS https://itsfoss.com/open-source-licenses-explained/ , etc.

We really do not want to list everything out there for folks to choose from. What are others doing? Any suggestions?
