License Clearance Tool - Description and Documentation

Intro - Aim & purpose of the tool

This is a tool that facilitates the clearance of rights (copyright) for datasets that are to be cleared before they are publicly released under an open licence. It allows the crowd-sourced documentation of the clearance process.

• Data clearance not bound to the user that initiated the procedure, so it can be started and finished by different users.
• Potentially include crowd-source clearance.
• Clearance metadata will be an open source resource.
