Hi Stas, See my previous email to the list for some thoughts on the WordPress plugin. I think the one thing that I'm not quite clear on below is your final point:
* Add settings option where user will be able to define a default type of license which will be applied in case of fast publishing. Or, maybe choose some license types which will be used and skip (not show) the whole list. Is that specifying a license for blog posts? We have a plugin (http://wiki.creativecommons.org/WpLicense) that allows you to select a license for your blog that seems to overlap with this. (This could be another project -- improving that plugin and making it support additional features like per-post licensing, etc.) Am I misunderstanding? Overall looks like a good overview; feel free to email any other questions or clarifications you need.
