This is a bit of a late reply, but -- it's *great* to see the 'deprecated' 
metadata showing up in the REST API. That's excellent.

And the new Public Domain stuff Mark work been a long time coming. A lot 
of CC fans really appreciate the work CC is doing on revising that, and so 
it's a really welcome sign that it's stable enough to land in the API.
