Description
Right now, you can explicitly specify a license.
In addition, there's a default Open Database License disclaimer for the metadata on the package_form snippet.

There was an extensive discussion on the reasoning behind this - https://github.com/ckan/ckan/pull/1503, which holds true in the traditional "open data" use case, which does not apply to an enterprise DMS use case.
Why not make it a configurable option with the default value set to the existing text?
I realize that you can always override the snippet, but it'd be better if its easily configurable.

Research direction
Start with ckan/templates/package/snippets/package_form.html at the linked disclaimer, then read the rationale in pull request #1503. Define the configurable option so its default remains the existing disclaimer text; done means the package form can change it without overriding the snippet.
