Given these definitions, I would say dct:license is not appropriate, and dct:rights is narrower than what we really want.

Since ODRL is a _policy_ language, we now support a broader expression of rules (such as a Privacy statement)

We did provide some feedback to the W3C Media Ontology group in this respect for policy properties (over pure copyright properties) [1].

Perhaps all we can do is define/use our target property and (using SKOS) state that this is broader than dtc:rights/license?
