Re: [web-annotation] Clarification on the usage of rights in the example use case

@riannella as far as I can tell, we haven't stated that one can 
license the facts just that if you are asserting rights over those 
statements, that's where you'd put them. Whether or not any legal 
system on the planet will care (or how much and to what end) is 
certainly beyond the scope of this group.

RDF as IPR, though, does seem to fall decidedly in the lap of the POE 
WG, however. Likely, you'll bee seeing a few of us join that WG and 
mailing lists in hopes of at least watching how it plays out. :smile: 

Additionally, we can't run on the assumption that the Annotation and 
Body (and certainly not the Targets) are made at the same time, or by 
the same entity, etc. It's completely possible for an annotation to be
 created by myself, targeting a work written eons ago, and using it's 
Wikipedia page as one (but not the only) body--such that each of those
 things MAY have its own `rights` statement assigned within the 
Annotation, and would certainly have it's own copyright, license, etc.
