Re: [dxwg] license and rights apply to Dataset not only Distribution

This group probably doesn't want to enter in long discussion about what an inheritance of rights from Dataset to Distribution could be. There can be a lot of exceptions whereby a Distribution acquires new rights over the one of a Dataset - or it may even lose some. These may be justified or not - it depends on jurisdictions or the interpretations thereof. In the meantime I think it's required to keep the possibility - and encouragement - to have rights expressed at the Distribution level. 

That's not to say that I'm against rights at the Dataset level. I'd favor both in fact, so that implementers are not discouraged to handle whatever weird situation they encounter. I.e. they can assign various rights at the level(s) these rights are best expressed.
