Wha? You can just use http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-license,  
there's no need to replicate data today.

I think the problem of declaring licenses in html is solved- there  
are already large implementations using the rel-license microformat  
(Yahoo and (maybe Google) CC search). What remains is to figure out  
how licensens in hAtom get translated to license in Atom.
