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.

For details, please consult:

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