Hello David, That's quite an interesting approach!! So you would provide the license information as part of you SPARQL query, for example, in the HTTP header, and if the license was valid a result would be returned?
Or, alternatively, you would be able to query regardless of the licence but the result would be encrypted unless you used the license information to decrypt it (sort of like a public/private key system)?
