etd's Issues

q: should we auto-add DOIs to all ingested ETDs?

License Question

Greetings,

As a fellow information professional in the library space, can you help me better understand the "why" and "how" your team came to choose to use the creative commons license as opposed to software specific licenses with a copy-left clause? The factors around choosing software licenses are multifaceted and the process is unique to each team's dynamics. The Creative Commons organization recommends not using their licenses with software or hardware. So, I'm wondering what the factors were which pushed your development process into using CC licenses?

Kind Regards,

move log-level to an envar setting.

• To get a sense of the flow of the app, it'd be helpful to add debug logging, but to be able to set, via an envar setting, the log-level to 'info'.
