Hi Monika, yes, in fact, they're just regular bitstreams with a specific name and contents, recognized by the presentation layer and rendered with a CC deed. > Stepping back: Our DSPACE instances has a community with collections which > contain senior theses documents.

DSpace has stackable authentication built-in, so a number of auth methods may be chained and will be tried in turn until one of them succeeds. In case of IP authentication, you may configure users from a certain IP range to be put in a certain DSpace group. Then you'll just create appropriate permissions on the bitstreams you want to allow/restrict for that group. > We would like to make site users explicitly agree to our custom license when > they download a bitstream from a senior theses collection.

Many developers listen on both, though.
