As discussed in #2145, it would be nice to add license information to the DataCite metadata profile for projects. DataCite encourages use of SPDX identifiers (an identifier scheme for licenses: https://spdx.org/licenses/) when doing this:
"rightsList": [
{
"rights": "Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal",
"rightsUri": "https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode",
"schemeUri": "https://spdx.org/licenses/",
"rightsIdentifier": "cc0-1.0",
"rightsIdentifierScheme": "SPDX"
}
],
We should add a field to the License model to associate licenses with their SPDX identifier (https://spdx.org/licenses/). Note that some licenses will not have an identifier, so the field should be optional.
