• Fixes Replace legacy CC API integration (api.creativecommons.org) DSpace#9397
• Alternative to Remove deprecated CC license API replace with local CSV and RDF license files. DSpace#12424
• Requires Creative Commons Licenses DSpace#12922 (an API PR is required to test this)

Description

Replaces legacy CC API dependence with locally served resources.

List of changes in this PR:

• Removes reliance on CC API, replaces with local logic and resources
• Adds new choices to CC License chooser to facilitate setting correct values for dc.rights and dc.rights.url:

1. Help me choose (legacy style chooser)
2. I know my license (simple selection)
3. All rights reserved (protected by copyright)
4. Public Domain (apply cc0)
5. Other (manually enter values for dc.rights and dc.rights.uri)

• Each option in the chooser is configured via XML
• Chooser form logic now resides in DSpace

Testing instructions

1. Merge this PR and the related DSpace backend PR
2. Turn on CC License Chooser by uncommenting in config/item-submission.xml
3. There are also a number of configuration settings to be applied in local.cfg:

###############################
#  Creative Commons settings  #
###############################

# The url to the web service API
cc.api.rooturl = ${dspace.server.url}/cc

# Metadata field to hold CC license URI of selected license
cc.license.uri = dc.rights.uri

# Metadata field to hold CC license name of selected license (if defined)
cc.license.name = dc.rights

# Metadata field to hold CC license rights of selected license (if defined)
cc.license.rights = dc.rights

# Assign license name during web submission
cc.submit.setname = false

# Assign license rights during web submission
cc.submit.setrights = true

# Store license bitstream (RDF license text) during web submission
cc.submit.addbitstream = true

# A list of license classes that should be included in the selection process
# class names - comma-separated list -  must exactly match what service returns.
cc.license.classes = standard,known,none,zero,other

4. Restart back end server, then restart front end
5. Add a new item in the UI and scroll down to the Rights section.
6. Explore the chooser options and make selections.
7. Finish adding the item and then check it's metadata to ensure expected values are in the dc.rights and dc.rights.uri fields.
