The thing is, I have no idea where to put the atom:copyright content. It might be a short "(C)2005 Robert Sayre" like you see at the bottom of every web page, or it might be a shouty "FOR PRIVATE USE ONLY" thing intended to be displayed prominently, or it might be wordy licensing text, etc etc. As a publisher, I wouldn't know what to put in there other than by seeing what kind of things other people are putting, which kind of undermines having an Atom spec. Some clarification in this area is needed.
The URI is a horrid idea, though. We have a SHOULD NOT against machine readable licensing information for a reason.
Agreed, a URI is essentially machine readable (if it links to a well- known address) and therefore a bad idea.
