create variable "rights" or "copyright" and map Zotero's "Rights" field

"license"?

[adam3smith]

I like license - less ambiguous than "rights", shorter than "copyright" and as a minor bonus it also applies to the software category.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'd like to ask if this has been implemented. Has there been a CSL field that maps "Rights" in Zotero (maybe also "Legal Status" in Mendeley)? My organization would like to mention CC licensing in reference items. Thanks.

@swifterslb, no. There hasn't been an update to CSL since this ticket was opened. I don't expect a lot of opposition to addition a CSL variable for licensing information, but it will be a while before we have another release ready we can add it to.

So, should we add license?

[dstillman]

Should we rename Rights to License in Zotero and map it? "Rights" has always been a fairly confusing label.

[adam3smith]

I like that, yes.

Agreed
