I like the idea of using a system tiddler for the content license and then displaying the content in a control panel tab. The reason is that the license really needs to be machine readable to be useful. With a system tiddler we can decompose the license information into individual fields, and then provide a template for a human readable view, and then transclude that template in the control panel. We could also have optional features like a way to display the license via discrete icons in the sidebar.
I’d favour $:/ContentLicense to make it clearer that it applies to the content, and not to the code or plugins.
