Hyrax: CC4.0 license configuration

[straleyb]

This is a ticket which poses the idea that the configuration for Licenses be updated to include the CC4.0 licenses and URIs. To keep the licenses updated, this seems like a fairly logical step for updating the configuration.

I see that work has been done to toggle licenses on and off. What our hopeful goal is, is to keep the CC3.0 licenses active for the items that have those licenses already, but for any new works being ingested only allow them to use the CC 4.0 licenses.

Is this already working the way I described? I would also like to know if the community backs this change here in Hyrax and if so, we can move forward with making this change.

@straleyb I support updating the CC licenses to 4.0, and marking the 3.0 ones to active: false (which accomplishes the "keeps them active for items that have them already but does't allow them to be selected anew" requirement, AFAIK). See here: https://github.com/projecthydra-labs/hyrax/blob/master/lib/generators/hyrax/templates/config/authorities/licenses.yml

Thoughts on this, @projecthydra-labs/hyrax-metadataists ?

@mjgiarlo Currently dealing with this exact issue in a less elegant way so yes please. Allowing us to maintain 3.0 ones while + only offering new would be aces.

The only concern I might see would be things which were initially put up under an older license which we'd have to add in, we had to add an additional 3.0 license for a journal which did its author licenses that way, but if we could add new licenses and mark them as active: false so that they could only be accessed through batch ingest vs. any kind of deposit...that would be perfect.

Bumping this issue @samvera/hyrax-repo-managers, @samvera/hyrax-code-reviewers : @samvera/hyrax-metadataists still support updating CC licenses to 4.0 while maintaining support for grandfathered-in CC 3.0 licenses for existing items.

i think all that is needed for this is a configuration update. would anyone be willing to take on adding the cc 4.0 licenses to https://github.com/projecthydra-labs/hyrax/blob/master/lib/generators/hyrax/templates/config/authorities/licenses.yml

Hyrax 3.0.2 still shows CC 3.0 licenses, not CC 4.0. @jlhardes

The licenses.yml linked above does include CC4.0 licenses and they are set as active: true and CC3.0 are listed and set as active: false but we are still not seeing CC4.0 licenses available. Does something else need to happen for this to take effect?
