You can actually apply a license in the form of an access condition to individual files. If you then set file access permission to all authenticated users, you get something like this:Sebastian

Has anyone asked about having different licenses for files?Currently only the dataset has a license and then all files in the dataset inherit that license.Any thought or questions about having licenses at the file level?ThanksSherrySherry Lake | Scholarly Repository Librarian | University of Virginia Library | shL...@virginia.edu | 434.924.6730 | @shLakeUVA | Alderman Library, 160 N.

Hi Janet,
Let me try to explain what I think the “terms” you ask about mean.
A license expresses how someone can use a dataset (owner granting permission to use a dataset in such a way and usually specifies what those conditions are). If you think about Creative Common Licenses (CC), these are a suit of “conditions” on how a work can be used: work must be cited (BY), work cannot be used for commercial purposes (NC), etc. Dataverse only provides one of these types of licenses (CC0 – do whatever you want with my stuff, I don’t care).
But if you don’t want CC0, dataverse gives an owner an option to specify a different set of terms (which maybe part of a license, maybe not – and maybe is why dataverse uses the phrase “Terms of use” because the terms may not be a specific license (like one of the CC’s). Dataset allows you to set custom terms of use. You can certainly add CC-BY here in the dataverse “Terms of Use” section and that would be a license. Or you could put in a more detailed set of terms (sometimes called a “usage agreement”).
So for me “Terms of Use” on the Dataverse Terms tab on a dataset , is generic for “license” other than CC0.
“Terms of access” in dataverse is only used for files that are restricted. These “terms” give “Information on how and if users can gain access to the restricted files in this dataset.” I can see how setting specific terms of use for a file may some how conflict with a specified license, and that’s sort of how my original question started. If I only want to restrict access to some of my files in dataverse, I probably want to restrict what other users can do with my files (i.e, those restricted files would need to have a different license – or different terms of use).
I hope this has helped.
