[profgui] ODRL inheritance policy

At the profgui meeting we discussed the section on types of profiles in
the Google Doc [1]. There were questions about the bullet point
regarding ODRL. I found the ODRL document section [2] that I remembered
(albeit badly). This section sets the rules for policy inheritance and
merging. It is followed by a section regarding the rules to apply when
there are conflicts detected between parent and child policies.[3]

While the word "profile" isn't used here, later in the ODRL document
there is a statement that any usage that goes beyond the core ODRL
vocabulary is considered a "profile".[4] That section appears to
indicate that most uses of ODRL will be profiles.

These ODRL rules are the only evidence that I know of that define
inheritance and merging of profiles. For this reason, I think that this
is a good example to include. I will re-read the ODRL rules DEEPLY and
re-write that bullet point.
