Tantek just put together a formal spec for this:

comments and improvements welcome.

Isn't this reinventing the 'copyright' value of rel? http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-links

Also, if I read the normative XMDP correctly, what's going on here is that a new 'link type' is being defined--hence, it is usable on the <link> element too, not just hyperlinks? Putting document properties in an <a> element is just weird; I'm going to pull it out of the <a> element in my WordPress CC tool and put a <link rel="license"> in <head>.
