Having a optional URI or href whatever for the license would be good.
Seems to be some inconsistency between src, uri, url, href btw that
you can easily pick up in the relaxng scheme.
I'm not comfortable with adding an optional URI. It implies that a
license could change on the web without the user knowing about it.
That really concerns me.
It's not that uncommon to use URIs to identify (well-known) licenses,
see, e.g.,
http://www.w3.org/Submission/2008/SUBM-ccREL-20080501/
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4946.txt
I'd suggest that it's a good idea to enable this pattern for widgets;
the issue that you point out (licenses changing after the fact) is one
that's being dealt with on a social level.
