I would like to more proactively license as open source both your site (can be licensed and citing you directly @ybakos) taking advantage of Zeneodo and GitHub integration. I also want to be clearer to users when they upload information, that they agree to Terms of service that license the information with a Creative Commons License. Then we offer a suggested citation.

  • Register repo in Zendo
  • Update footer site citation
    @ybakos we can register your repo to Zenodo, and then we can update your footer to something like:

Zeondo makes it nice because they will then issue a DOI for the GitHub repo, which makes it citeable and indexed in citation trackers.

Separately, we should have a little verbage somewhere that when you contribute information, you agree to some Terms of Service (e.g. like (Chronolog](https://www.chronolog.io/terms), but have them agree to a Creative Commons attribution license. Then for each "Project" we can simply put on the page a Creative Commons logo, and attribution license to the "owner" of that project.

  • Add a Terms of Service Page (we can wordsmith)
  • Add a Creative Commons license to every project

If we want to get really fancy, we can have a suggested citation:

  • Add at bottom of every project a suggested citation.

e.g. for https://bda-explorer.herokuapp.com/projects/182
