Bram and I looked at how DSpace stores the information that an item is CC-licensed. It stores a license bitstream (license_rdf) in the CC-LICENSE bundle and it also adds the dc.rights and dc.rights.uri fields.
Anyway, there's no direct support for adding a CC license in XMLUI or JSPUI that we know of AFTER the original submission. I also tried looking at how you can do it manually by editing bitstreams/metadata, but the fact that the bitstreams are stored in the CC-LICENSE bundle together with the fact that you can't add or remove bundles from the UIs means, that it can't be done at this moment. We're assuming the reason for why it's not possible is that even an admin shouldn't be allowed change the license after the item has been submitted, because it's the author's right (it seems DSpace assumes the submitter is the author) to choose the license. Of course, there are cases where this assumption doesn't hold (e.g. importing items by other means than the submission workflow). Here's a proposal that would solve this (among other issues) by letting you re-submit an existing item via the submission workflow again. It may be worthwhile to watch it. https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1234 What you can currently do is to use the item exporter to export the item, add the bundle and bitstreams and re-import (replace) it. It might be preferable from creating a new item, because it would keep the item's handle, metadata and bitstreams. Feel free to file this as a new Jira issue, that way you'll be able to watch its progress and any comments made.
