Under the habracat, I posted an overview description of the microformat rel-license, which is designed to indicate for the content or part of the license under which this content is distributed (Creative Commons 2.0, Apache 2.0 license, GNU General Public License, etc.).

Description
rel-license allows you to specify the license (or licenses) related to this document. The link to the corresponding license is indicated in the href attribute of a regular hyperlink ( )
If the rel-license is located inside the hReview microformat , then the one specified inside the attributerel URL should refer to the license for review (review), and not to the license of the entire document. This allows aggregators to find reviews that fall under the same licensing, but are located in different sources (on different pages, sites, etc.).
Examples

2. Extension for Dreamweaver by Drew MacLillan.
Services that work with rel-license
1. Yahoo Creative Commons Search - allows you to search for content that has a specific type of license, for example, content that can be used for commercial purposes.
2. Google Usage Right's Search - an additional feature of the "Advanced Search" in Google. Allows you to specify the type of license as a search filter.
