But note that DCMI has moved on since then... firstly by approving the
DCTERMS.license property [1] and secondly by recommending that when the
value of a metadata property is a URI it should be encoded in (X)HTML
using the link tag rather than the meta tag.

So, this is what DCMI would currently recommend I think

<link rel="schema.DCTERMS" href="http://purl.org/dc/terms/"; />
<link rel="DCTERMS.license"
href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/"; />
