Oh, maybe I got that wrong, too, then. You mean that google result lists
should have license information embedded per-entry? I.e. you'd do a
random search and could see license information (if available)?
Yeah, that sounds handy. Could make even more sense for vertical
search engines, I guess.

[PW] I am so crap at explaining myself, I don't know how I run any form of
business. YES, you got it. 

OK, here's the cool stuff for W3C standards bragging. Check out
www.trustwatch.com - I met the CTO of GeoTrust in 2005, before it was bought
by VeriSign. I told him that their model for enabling trust wasn't scalable
(won't bore you with the detail here). Since then, I've been told by Philip
Hallam-Baker that VeriSign are likely to can the system for that reason. I
believe the use of open methods such as labels are scalable ;)

Not sure if I can resist to comment on RDFa and HTML validity ;)

[PW] I don't think this is relevant based on my response to Ivan ;)
