this describes how to manually change the license for all files/datasets in clowder

clowder.license.md

Pick your license, copy to the script at the end, and update the database. For large databases this can take some time, but should not impact clowder.

Custom Licsens

Custom license, the default. If you set rightsHolder to be "" it will default to the uploader. Set m_allowDownload to true (allow downloads) or false (no downloads except admins and owner).

var license={
  "licenseData": {
    "m_licenseType" : "license1",
    "m_licenseUrl" : "",
    "m_licenseText" : "All rights reserved",
    "m_rightsHolder" : "",
    "m_allowDownload" : true
  }
};

update license

Pick the license from above and copy it and run the following 3 statements. This will overwrite the license for ALL files.

db.uploads.update({}, {$set: license}, {"multi": 1})
db.curationFiles.update({}, {$set: license}, {"multi": 1})
db.datasets.update({}, {$set: license}, {"multi": 1})

For example the following will set the license for all files to be public domain:

var license={
  "licenseData": {
    "m_licenseType" : "license3",
    "m_licenseUrl" : "http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/",
    "m_licenseText" : "Public Domain Dedication",
    "m_rightsHolder" : "Public Domain Dedication",
  }
};

db.uploads.update({}, {$set: license}, {"multi": 1})
db.curationFiles.update({}, {$set: license}, {"multi": 1})
db.datasets.update({}, {$set: license}, {"multi": 1})
