Questions about template licenses preferences

[terrywbrady]

When "Use defaults" is selected, what should be in the default list?

Option 1. Preferred list, version resolved to the time of template creation

CC-BY-4.0 
CC-BY-SA-4.0 
CC-BY-NC-4.0 
CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0 
CC-BY-ND-4.0 
CC-BY-NC-ND-4.0 
CC0-1.0

Option 2. Preferred list, version dynamically applied

"CC-BY-%{latest}"
"CC-BY-SA-%{latest}"
"CC-BY-NC-%{latest}"
"CC-BY-NC-SA-%{latest}"
"CC-BY-ND-%{latest}"
"CC-BY-NC-ND-%{latest}"
"CC0-%{latest}"

If this option is chosen, then a user editing research outputs might find that their selected value is no longer available as a choice when editing. We will need to think through that scenario. Or, would it be the responsibility of the administrator to go and add the new version of the license?

Option 3. The full list of 400+ licenses

What happens when "Use mine" is selected?

• Should the default list get carried over?
• I presume the user can select from the 400+ values
• Can the user make up their own values?
• What happens is a selected license is versioned and subsequently updated?

Terry and @mariapraetzellis discussed this. Specific licenses will be selected. If newer versions of the licenses are created in the future: (1)add newer versions to the templates OR (2)explore a versioning enhancement at that time.
