This issue seems like the most logical place to drop a reminder to look into improving the performance of the file pg, as noted in File page - slow/excessive queries (regressive*) #3960. Before we add more features to this page, we should review and refactor as much of the existing code as possible to make sure we are not adding excessive burden to a page that is already under performing.

Sonia also has use cases for this feature. Some Murray datasets have different terms of use for different files in a dataset.

@shlake @adam3smith, our understanding after discussion is that this issue is about displaying terms that apply to a file on the file page. There is no new functionality requested. Is this correct? This issue suggests having the info in a Terms tab on the file page, and @adam3smith requested having it on the metadata tab in #3997.

What I think I really wanted when I opened this issue was to have the ability (with a "term tab" on the file page) to be able to set different terms of use per file in the same dataset.

This is what I would like to see, and I thought there was an issue about this: to have an option to set terms/license per file OR at dataset level, but I can't seem to find it now.

But if this issue is about showing the file "terms" of use on the file page - it doesn't matter if it is a separate tab (which the way it reads is this issue) or in the file metadata #3997

Thanks for clarifying, @shlake. The ability to define terms for files will happen with the DataTags integration #871.

I also want per-file terms, but the linked issue I opened was indeed just for displaying terms on the file landing page, no additional functionality. That would already help us plenty.
