Re: [dxwg] license and rights apply to Dataset as well as Distribution

I am not in favour of linking a decision in this group to whether a software vendor -- even an important one like CKAN -- agrees to change its model. 
In my mind, we seem to have established that the DCAT model in this case is more flexible that the CKAN model. There is a clear way -- and there are already tools -- for CKAN data to be converted to the DCAT model, while converting in the other direction is more complicated.
Could we try to wrap this up?
My proposal is: 
(a) to make no changes to the DCAT model;
(b) to add a Usage note to https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/#Property:distribution_license to explain why DCAT recommends licensing to be associated with Distributions and not with Datasets.
