Of course you can add metadata describing the license in more than one

format, or add metadata describing several licenses, for that matter.

Bjorn, I am not sure what you mean by this, but let me be more clearer.

The key point to remember is that the CC Licenses are not extendable.

What I mean by this is that if you add any extra "metadata" to an existing

RDF/XML CC license, then you are no longer representing a CC License.

You have created a NEW license with new terms and conditions, and these

can not be associated with any of the Human/Legal code for the fixed CC Licenses.
