Oh, I see what you're saying now. I still need to have my morning cup 
of coffee, so I'm a little slow. :)

Indeed, part of the metadata should contain the license (which was 
added to the list by Paul in a previous post), and the license should 
meet a minimum "openness" standard before it can be accepted.

I've actually been keeping a close eye on the Creative Commons in 
relation to another project I've been involved with (but not at liberty 
yet to speak about, because I didn't start it). I think creating a 
selection of CC licenses and having them available to choose from would 
be the way to go, the same way SourceForge allows you to choose from a 
list of licenses (or at least, that's how I understand it works).
