Make license optional in spreadsheet template #37

Closed henrietteharmse closed 1 year ago

This was raised in the resource onboarding meeting of 20 Jan 2023. Users may not have exact licence information which then is a hurdle to the onboarding of their resources. The suggestion is to make the licence optional and then have the FDP default to a very restrictive licence. Thus from a FDP it is mandatory, but from a user uploading the resource metadata information, it is optional.

Further discussion on 20230210 is to add a choice to state that no license information is available or whether license information is available. Options can be:

  1. License information is unavailable.
  2. License information is available but have been supplied as yet.
  3. License information still in process of being discussion.
  4. License information is available and has been supplied.
  5. Unsure of which these options apply.

This is likely to develop further in future discussions.
