Public Document License?

HempsteadHempstead Member Posts: 1
I am considering publishing all my F16 parts 3D models, http://www.hempstick.org/The_Official_Hempstick_Site/Flight_Sim_3D_Models.html, on OnShape, as a lot of my users (or potential users) don't have access to SolidWorks. I read through the FAQ, which says that I can put additional restrictions on the public documents I publish. But I cannot find anywhere to do so. Am I missing something obvious?

All my models are currently published under Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial International V.4. Without being able to specify a license with published documents, I am unable to stick to license I am comfortable with when publishing my models on OnShape.

Put it another way. What exactly is the license agreement when I publish my models as public documents on OnShape? And how do I specify one, or is it allowed to specify a different license?

    @jonah_tsai, should you move ahead with your plans to migrate your F16 models to Onshape please post about your experience here.  We are very interested in the role the public model will play going forward and would love to stay informed on your progress.  @bobminer

    It kind of seems like there should be immutable tabs or something that ride along with every copied document (not by the owner) in Onshape for attaching licenses and making sure the licenses stick with the copies, in cases for licenses where stuff like that matters.
