With rel-license scoping has potentially major legal ramifications.
Essentially it means that any rel=license link found needs to be
manually checked to determine exactly what the licence applies to. And
if one needs to manually inspect a page to determine its licence, then
rel=license is adding no value.
This is a very good point, Toby. It is an argument against using
rel="license" in the current version of hAudio since the semantics do
not match up with what is intended. Namely:
"By adding rel="license" to a hyperlink, a page indicates that the
destination of that hyperlink is a license for the current page."[1]
However, to give a counter-point, Creative Commons notes that
rel="license" should be used to specify what music a particular work is
licensed under:
http://creativecommons.org/license/music
Their approach has the musical work(s) described on a page as the only
content on that page, so rel="license" makes a little more sense in
their use case. This would also make sense in the hAudio case, but has a
very high probability of abuse.
The XHTML vocabulary also defines rel="license" as applying to the
current document and not to resources in the document.

Keep in mind that this is a non-issue in RDFa since you always have a
subject, which is why it is supported in Audio RDFa[2].
If we do want to specify the license for Microformatted objects in the
future, we should pick something else, like rel="hlicense" to specify
the relationship between a Microformat object and it's license.
However, hAudio does not have enough examples of specifying the license
to warrant this addition to the Microformat.
You are right Manu In fact only a handful of the audio-info-examples
make any reference at all to a licence of any kind so for hAudio
rel="licence" is out of scope for haudio at this time, but Its good to
talk these things through.
Is it safe to say that I can re-close issue "D6: 2008-01-10 hAudio
notes inconsistency" [1] ? (if thats ok with everyone else that is?)
