I see you already asked this in July and were warnocked back then
too.
All I could find in the archive that even mentions atom:rights
and atom:source in conjunction is

But, he wrote this last October, long after RFC 4287 was
finalised in June, and the spec contradicts his argument: section
4.2.10 clearly says:
If an atom:entry element does not contain an atom:rights
element, then the atom:rights element of the containing
atom:feed element, if present, is considered to apply to the
entry.
So in other words, it looks like whoever wrote the section in
question simply forgot to take inheritance from atom:source into
account and did not actuall mean to be exclude it; a spec bug.
