Add custom licences and store in database

[EricGuic]

Describe the problem to be solved

For some administrators (like me, working for a public organization), the Creative Commons native licences are not enough.
I would like to be able to add some custom licences, and to attach some url to it (redirecting the user to the legal explanations).

This could be achieve with a plugin, but for the new licences to be broadcasted to other federated instances, their admin should also install the same plugin, with the same parameters (the custom licences).

So maybe a better solution could be achieve attaching the licence name and url to the video in database.

Describe the solution you would like

After a first discussion (in french) here : https://framacolibri.org/t/ajout-de-licences-personnalisables/19584
this is what it could looks like :

• Store the license of the video in peertube's database

• Store also an url linked to each custom licence (for example to redirect the user on click to the specific page displaying the legal explanations)

• Add section in the webUI, allowing the administrator to see all the licences he wants to offer to his users : the native Creative Commons licences, and if needed, the custom one he've created.

So to add a custom licence, the admin should fill two fileds, the first with the displayed name of the licence, and a second one with the url of the legal explanations. Once complete and saved, this new custom licence will be available in the dropdown menu of the video parameters.

JohnLivingston has made a usefull proposal : to write also a Fediverse Enhancement Proposal so this feature could be supported at a higher level by ActivityPub.
