UK Data Archive has a 'standard licence', which consists of a licence agreement signed between a depositor and the Archive (http://www.esds.ac.uk/aandp/create/licence.asp ) and a corresponding end user licence signed by the user (http://www.esds.ac.uk/aandp/access/licence.asp ), as well as a 'special licence' for sensitive data (http://www.esds.ac.uk/orderingData/specialLicence.asp ).
I liaise with many researchers funded by ESRC and the Relu programme, who deposit data with the data archive, and have not come across cases where researchers have commented that they want to use / impose their own or institutional licence.
Other examples:
The Climate Research Unit at UEA licences their data via a Creative Commons licence.
The Environmental Change Network have their own data licence, see: http://www.ecn.ac.uk/request_form.asp

UKDA has a special licence for sensitive data, I think...
