Once upon a time, I built a proxy license submission step. A penultimate
step step that lets admin users upload a file by proxy. And so they are
uploading a signed document (PDF)
https://github.com/osulibraries/DSpace/blob/osukb/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/submit/step/UploadLicenseStep.java
Nobody views that license / file. Its only for legal/archival purposes for
(in case) someone challenges how the repository obtained the original
document.
I guess another question you are asking is should the system store
presentation information (markup / html), or should it be plain text.
Another question is what's the purpose of the license? Just to present
something better looking to the user before they click I agree? You could
try to render the license within the license acceptance page. PDF's have
better success at rendering than doc.

I was handed a Word document for use as a deposit license. Of course
that doesn't work, but what does? I carefully extracted and
re-formatted the content as plain text, and it was nearly destroyed by
the UI.
It turns out that the license text is neither one thing nor another.
It seems to be provided by machine-machine interfaces that would make
HTML problematic. But XMLUI treats it as a simple HTML fragment,
which gets it rendered as ordinary character data (meaning that my
nice spacing and multilevel bullet lists get squashed).
What should we do with this thing? If it has to be plain text, then
XMLUI should treat it as pre so it doesn't get
rewrapped/filled/generally blenderized. Or should it *really* be an
HTML fragment in which we can use markup appropriate to the interior
of the body element? Something else?
