[uf-discuss] Licensing and microformat content within feeds

[John Panzer]

At the moment, I'm looking for exactly this -- pointers to existing 
actual practices.  I'll note that the Feedburner approach 
(http://www.burningdoor.com/eric/archives/000759.html) is different from 
James Snell's link rel="license" extension for Atom.  Is one or the 
other in actual use?
