Licensing controls

Open pfrazee opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

We need some tools to set licenses on drives. It should be possible to:

  • Easily set the license from a set of choices during creation
  • Easily configure the license of an active drive

We need to choose from a set of builtin licenses. I figure we need to consider a set of copyleft licenses and maybe also consider creative commons at some point.

I think 2 or 3 elements are essential, if the needed license is not part of your selection!

License caption/shortcut eg: CC BY-NC-SA ... or others User text / Copyright Notice eg: "This page is available under the: Link license, if not mentioned otherwise." Link to an URL eg: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ or a link to a LICENSE.TXT file found on the drive

I personally like CC licenses a lot for "prose text" content.

I can start with a very "strict" license like CC BY-NC-ND (which probably doesn't work for public drives) going to very "liberal" CC BY
