Opendocument's metadata description doesn't natively include a field for licenses.
Opendocument does support four user-defined fields, but I don't think it's a good idea to encourage using that to store licenses. It makes migration to the long-term solution of using an extended odt metadata descritpion all the more difficult. Basically, before liblicense can support opendocument, we need a specification. I've seen some news on a specification, but I don't know what the progress or timeline is.
