Hi Ben,
Thank you very much for your fast response.
To further elaborate, the company I work for charges money to an
affiliate for the right to use customer reviews on their personal site.
It comes down to this, does using a microformat imply that the content
is free to syndicate? Would it be necessary to have a Terms and
Conditions stating customer reviews are copy written or something to
that degree?

The company I work for is looking to use hReview. However, we do
not want to use if there are any legal restrictions or if the
community would be opposed to it.
All microformat specifications are released into the Public Domain
and can be used by any person or organisation without restriction.
Many commercial entities are already using microformats on a large
scale; Yahoo (who I work for) publish a huge amount of hCard,
hCalendar, hReview, hListing, and, err, many more.
The very purpose of microformats, to better describe the information
we publish in pages, dictates that *everyone* is encouraged to
publish with them.
Regards,
B
