Hi Brianna,
In recent years Creative Commons has moved to providing their own API to
select Creative Commons licenses. DSpace added support for the new
Creative Commons API as of DSpace 1.8 (and it has been enhanced further
in later versions of DSpace).
Unfortunately, that means the way that DSpace 1.5 (or anything earlier
than 1.8) may not be guaranteed to work any more. Creative Commons has
overhauled their website, etc, and I'm not sure if they even support the
old way of selecting licenses any longer (they might, I honestly don't
know).
Here's the ticket where we added the new Creative Commons API (in 1.8):
https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-964
Perhaps others who are running a version of DSpace <=1.8 can validate
whether the old method of selecting Creative Commons licensing still
works. Otherwise, you might consider upgrading to a later version of
DSpace in order to take advantage of the new Creative Commons API
integration.

My institution is running DSpace 1.5. We allow users to select a
creative commons license during the upload process. Last week, we
discovered that the URL that we have always directed them to in order
to select a license changed - it still asks users questions about
selecting a license but no longer has a button that allows them to
select one and return to our repository. Here's the URL, for
reference: https://creativecommons.org/choose/
Has anyone else run into this issue and come up with a workaround for
it? I've been perusing the CC website to see if a page with the
previous functionality exists elsewhere but I haven't had any luck so
far. If it's the case that this webpage is gone, is there another way
to configure CC license selection?
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help
you can provide!
