[Archivesspace_Users_Group] copyright/licensing statements in finding aids

[Maureen Callahan]

I just wanted to say that I'm so glad that you brought this up, and that
TS-DACS has been considering adding this to the content standard for some
time now. In my opinion, there's no meaningful place for this in
ArchivesSpace right now. But since ArchivesSpace (nominally) aligns with
DACS, perhaps the first step might be a change request to DACS to include
an element in archival description to indicate how the description itself
is licensed. From there, EAD and ArchivesSpace could follow. I'd be willing
to work with you to put this together.

All best,
Maureen
