I am happy not to 'recommend' but I still think it could be useful to
refer to existing solutions.

And it's not entirely clear to me whether there are ANY cases where
contracts/policies can be avoided -- ideally, all data that is published
should have an associated, explicit policy that states the conditions
for its (re)use. Even Open Data needs (open) licences, which is a type
of contract/policy.

We should at least recommend that data publishers also publish an
explicit re-use licence.
