Kia ora Andrea,

Thanks very much – that confirms my suspicions. Given this I think we might as 
well edit the class filters in dspace.cfg and if we want to add a Public Domain 
mark to anything just do it manually. I’ll test to make sure the PD logo still 
displays via the page-structure.xsl, if not then I’ll look into the javascript 
option.

Kia ora koutou,

We’re on DSpace 3.1 using xmlui.

We’ve got some items in our repository which need the PD (public domain) 
license attached, but don’t want students to try to attach this license when 
submitting a thesis.

1)      Is there a way to specify which of the CC license options appear when 
users submit an item, other than in dspace.cfg?

Not that I'm aware of -- I think you can just give the class filters in 
dspace.cfg: 
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3_x/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L791 
(I assume those are what you mean).



2)      If not, what ramifications would removing the PD option from dspace.cfg 
have outside of the item submission form? Ie would it affect existing items 
with the license attached, and/or prevent us from adding that license to items 
in future by manually editing the metadata?

As far as I can tell, that option is only used in the item submission (& review 
workflow) form. It would definitely neither affect existing items nor prevent 
you from adding whatever you like via the edit metadata / edit bitstreams 
screens.

You could try and hack what goes into the licenses drop-down via JavaScript, to 
remove the PD option for submissions to your thesis collection/s.

cheers,
Andrea
