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?
No, using microformats does not imply anything about the licensing of
the information. In fact, the rel-license microformat allows you to
make it explicit when all rights are reserved. Additional licensing
restrictions you may impose apply to microformatted content just as to
content without microformats.
The microformats specifications themselves are completely free in the
public domain. That has no effect on the material published within
these HTML patterns.
