I realize THREDDS is mostly about freely exchanged data, and
restricted data is OK too because the underlying data server is
responsible for restricting access to the data. But there is another
class of data which required display of some agreement as a condition
for use.
The classic example is WMO40, the key phrase being "must provide this
same notification" ,e.g.
*The following data and products may have conditions placed on their
international commercial use. They can be used within the U.S. or for
non-commercial international activities without restriction.
Re-distribution of these data by others must provide this same
notification. A log of IP addresses accessing these data and products
will be maintained and may be made available to data providers. *

*Can THREDDS support this now? If not now, is it possible?

thats an interesting issue. i suppose we can add an optional attribute
to the documentation element, like mustNotify="true" which means to
clients that they should pop up the contents of the documentation
element and have the user press "Accept". Do you think that would suffice?
