Re: News industry requirement: action "license"

Hiya all,

I would create four types of actions;

- sell
- lease
- share
- give

The 'share' action covers cases where use rigths are granted, with 
terms, but without compensation, and without transfer of title, as for 
example under Creative Commons.
