Dear All,

One of the repository I'm working on (DSpace 5.4 XMLUI) would like to implement Creative Commons license step in the submission process. Based from what I've read here: Configuring Creative Commons License, the field dc.rights will be automatically populated by the Creative Commons license Name assuming that the cc.submit.setname is set to true. So for example if dc.rights.uri is http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo/, the value for dc.rights would be Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 IGO. Is it possible to change the value of dc.rights such that instead of the lookup value Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 IGO, it would instead use CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO? Example: https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/27237?show=full. I also noticed that the language attributes for dc.rights and dc.rights.uri were asterisks (*) and not the value of cc.license.locale. Also, I would also like to ask if it's possible to use the https version of the cc.license.uri? I changed my cc.api.rooturl to use https://api.creativecommons.org/rest/1.5 but it is still assigning the http version. Lastly, since activating the CC license step only required that you uncomment Step 6 portion in item-submission.xml, is it possible to have these step require the submitter to enter the dc.rights.holder field or I can only do that (ie adding the dc.rights.holder field) in the Describe portion of the submission process?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
