How Do I Declare a License Using ODPS?

ODPS v4.0 provides two methods to declare licensing information for your data product. You can either link to an external license definition or embed a detailed inline license object.

Option 1: Reference an External License

Use $ref to link your data product to a hosted license definition.

license:
  $ref: 'https://example.org/licenses/default'

This is useful when using standardized or reusable licenses such as Creative Commons or your own externally hosted license.

Option 2: Inline License Declaration

You can provide a detailed license directly within the ODPS YAML file.
