Please don't! Use http://purl.org/dc/terms/license (DC Elements superseded by DC Terms, license appropriate refinement of rights) I didn't want to go into details, but depending on context you might want to use bare "license" (in [x]html ns if you're doing RDFa, also works as microformat simultaneously) or dc:license or cc:license, all equivalent, just use whatever convenient. > As a license uri use: > > <http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0> I'd be nice if that didn't redirect to http://www.opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/ if it is the intended canonical URI for the license. Not necessary, just a nit.
