4.5.1 has a new setting :FooterCopyright which allows us non-Harvard dataverses to change the copyright text on our institutional versions.

Not sure if I am asking my question correctly, but I want to know dose "Harvard" care if we change the copyright to UVa on our footer? But the software is still "Harvards/IQSS"? So can we put copyright UVA?

I assume I am also allowed to change the copyright on the User Guide pages (which I did, but is it OK to do?)?

Thanks for any (legal) advice.

I am not a lawyer but we put that setting in for a reason! :)

I put it fairly high up on the list of config options because I think it'll be a popular one: http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.5.1/installation/config.html#footercopyright

Hope this helps,

Phil

Sherry,

At the moment, I am working with the appropriate channels to get you as accurate of a response as possible in regards to "(legal) advice" relating to the copyright in the Dataverse footer.
