rel="license" and citation

hReview can use rel="license" to show that the
license, not the page
itself, is available under a certain license.

Why not do the page for citations, so that I can cite, say,
a Wordsworth
poem, and indicate that the poem, but not my page, is public
domain?

You meant "... to show that the contents of the hReview
itself is
licensed, not the page ..."

If you want to be symmetric with
ht
tp://microformats.org/wiki/hReview#Field_details
rel="license" in a
citation would be saying that the contents of the citation
is licensed,
not the cited work.

I'm not sure what the point of this would be as default
copyright is ...
the default, but I also don't know why
rel="license" couldn't be used to
refer to a restrictive license statement, including one that
says no
rights are granted.

Indeed. Thank you.

I also meant "why not do the /same/ for citations...

Goodness knows what happened to my typing, this morning...

Perhaps,; but that's unlikely to be the case - often, if not
usually, a
citation is "fair use", regardless of the
copyright or license state of
the source.

Yes, but /whose/ copyright?

Consider, on one site:

         This page is <a rel="license"
         href="http://
www.example.com/copyright>copyright Example Ltd.
         2006</a> and may not be reproduced.


         This second page is <a rel="license"
         href="http:/
/www.example2.com/copyright>copyright Example2 Ltd.
         2006</a> and is used by permission.
