The following two bits seem incompatible with each other:

  type and hreflang attribute values.



Note the caveat, with the same combination of type and hreflang 
attribute values.  The idea is to prevent a single license from being 
appearing more than once.



   Multiple license link relations MAY be used to indicate that the
   informational content has been published under multiple copright
   licenses.  In such instances, each of the linked licenses is
   considered to be mutually exclusive of the others.

considered to be mutually exclusive of the others.

but the second bit of text suggests that the following is allowable:

link rel=license href=pay-me-for-commercial-use /
link rel=license href=barter-for-commercial-use /
link rel=license href=free-for-non-commercial-use /

which is a situation which should be allowable (IMHO), and so the
restriction should be removed:

o  atom:entry, atom:feed and atom:source elements MUST NOT contain
   more than one 'license' link relation with the same
   combination of type and hreflang attribute values.
