I didn't really want to discuss the licensing mess here. The previous
discussion seemed to conclude that it was risky and out of scope. I just
wanted to note that some attempt had been made to make a
machine-readable description of licensing.

Note that a simpler form of expressing this is rel="license", as defined here:

and adopted by Creative Commons:

and generated by their license server along with the RDF form
http://creativecommons.org/license/

This seems a suitable atom-like way to express this (subject to Bob's caveats about ti being a positive grant rather than a restriction).
