Re: [Dspace-tech] Creative Commons Question

Hi George, On 09/05/15 06:38, George Stanley Kozak wrote: I was asked recently why DSpace uses Creative Commons 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/) instead of Creative Commons 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).   Can someone answer that?  And are there any plans to go to using Creative Commons 4.0? This is related to CC's move away from ported licences and you can influence this by changing your DSpace configuration. I'm assuming you have a CC jurisdiction enabled in your dspace.cfg (https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-5.1/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L948). That means DSpace will ask CC for the most recent licence version for this jurisdiction that matches the other criteria given during submission (whether to allow commercial reuse etc). CC 4 no longer uses jurisdictions, so there is no CC 4 licence for the jurisdiction you specify. Hence, you get a CC 3 licence for your jurisdiction. Simply comment out the jurisdiction setting in dspace.cfg and you will start getting (unported) CC 4 licences. cheers, Andrea -- Dr Andrea Schweer IRR Technical Specialist, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand
