What this PR does / why we need it:
Pull request #7920 added multiple license support but we could take it a bit farther by providing new installations additional licenses beyond CC0 and by providing more documentation on how to manage licenses and add popular licenses such as the ones from Creative Commons.
To this end:
Which issue(s) this PR closes:
Closes #8347
Special notes for your reviewer:
I tried to take a relatively light touch on existing docs. I used the new "Configuring Licenses" section as a way to weave them together. However, I was tempted to change the following:
/api/licensesfrom "Admin" to their own section ("Licenses"). They really aren't part of the Admin API. Let me know and I'll include this change.Also, I used "CC0 1.0" instead of "CC0" in anticipation of pull request #8413 being merged.
Suggestions on how to test this:
Check to make sure of the following:
Does this PR introduce a user interface change? If mockups are available, please link/include them here:
No.
Is there a release notes update needed for this change?:
No. I think we have enough release notes docs for multiple licenses. We can tweak them as needed at release time. The CC BY addition is only for new installations, not upgrades.
Additional documentation:
None.
