A parallel could be the way Flickr gives users the ability to attach various licenses to their own photos, but whereas the Flickr default is the most restrictive option (full copyright), it would probably be more appropriate for the Drupal default to be a very permissive option, like CC0 [2]. Are there already plans for including license/waiver declarations in the RDFa? Keith [1] http://vocab.org/waiver/terms/ [2] http://creativecommons.org/choose/zero/
