Slot: Deposit License (SPDX Identifier) (deposit_license_spdx)

SPDX identifier of the license under which the derived exposure record (not the source) is published.

Tier: optional

Why this slot matters

States, in a machine-readable form, what a reuser is legally allowed to do with the published exposure record. Without it, reuse of the deposit is legally uncertain and cautious downstream users must treat the data as all-rights-reserved — the R in FAIR fails.

In plain terms

A license is the legal permission slip attached to the data — for example "you may reuse this if you credit the authors". SPDX is just a standard list of short codes for licenses (like CC-BY-4.0), so software can read the terms without a lawyer.
