The only reason web.resource.org is in there is because Inkscape for a long time produced SVG's that used this namespace. I decided in liblicense to write the new namespace unless there was already license metadata present and that license metadata used the old namespace. Most likely that metadata was written by Inkscape and, so that it could subsequently still be read by Inkscape, the namespace is left as web.resource.org. Toward the end of the summer, my patch to have Inkscape read and write the new namespace got committed to svn. So I'd assume that most SVG's in the wild that have license metadata are using the old namespace.
I know... supporting legacy standards is a pain, but I'm trying to avoid confusion on the user end (at the expense of the developer end, unfortunately).
