Topic: Support for Licenses on the File Level


view this post on Zulip Linda Reijnhoudt (Aug 04 2025 at 13:23):

Dear Dataverse Community,

At DANS-KNAW, we are working on adding support for file-level licensing, instead of on the dataset-level. To find a solution that works more broadly, we are looking for diverse use cases and current work-arounds within the Dataverse platform.

If you are interested in this topic, we would love to hear from you. Please reach out to us at info at dans.knaw.nl (with file licensing in the title) so we can have a conversation to better understand your needs. We would like to discuss what functionality you would like to see, how you are currently handling this, and what your users need. 

Feel free to share this invitation with others who might have relevant input!

Regards,
Linda Reijnhoudt, DANS-KNAW

Great meeting, all.

@Dieuwertje Bloemen I found the "please select a license" license you mentioned. :smile:

{
"id": 2,
"name": "Please select a license",
"shortDescription": "No license has been selected.",
"uri": "https://www.kuleuven.be/rdm/en/rdr/license-selection",
"iconUrl": "https://www.kuleuven.be/rdm/en/rdr/images/missing-license.png",
"active": true,
"isDefault": true,
"sortOrder": 0
}

Clever workaround.

@Linda Reijnhoudt I noticed your email to the mailing list about the next meeting on the 30th and added it to the community calendar.
