Well, while we could ? and in effect we'd *kind of* be doing that, I'd be quite keen to permit the use of dct:rights/dct:license (possibly both) where it's appropriate to use those predicates in particular, simply because they're relatively widespread terms beyond ODRL.
i.e., where the ODRL policy fits the definition of a 'Rights document' or a 'License document' as defined by Dublin Core (and we should probably look at inserting the appropriate superclass relationships into the model accordingly), then consider it valid to use dct:rights or dct:license. In other situations, in the absence of any other obvious predicate with that directionality, one must use odrl:target instead.
(On that basis, I guess I'm suggesting the answer to my question #2 is 'both', but that there are situations where neither is applicable)
