Any open or closed issues related to this feature request?

One issue is how to classify a dataset as (non-)open access.

A possible idea would be: a dataset is open access, if

  • an appropriate license is used, e.g. CC-0, and
  • all files are public/non-restricted

Having a controlled vocabulary would be useful here, so this seems relevant:

Research direction

Start by reviewing related issue #8512 and PR #9262, then determine how open access should be classified from the license and file-restriction conditions described here. Done means the classification rule is agreed and the dataset page displays an open-access badge consistently.
