How to add a license to your ARC

Licenses are essential for defining how others can use, modify, and distribute the code or data within a project. When you create and share an ARC, a license provides the formal framework that protects the data creators’ rights while clarifying the terms of use for the content.

In the DataHUB, a license is essentially a standardized text file. To add a LICENSE to your ARC

  1. navigate to your ARC in the DataHUB,

  2. click on “Add LICENSE” on the right sidebar menu(1),

  3. use a provided license template or enter the license text.
