Last year, I solicited and received some helpful feedback from everyone 
on this list regarding a project to create an "open licensing schema" 
that includes core information on license rights, obligations and 
restrictions.  It's come a long way and I'd invite everyone to check it 
out at clipol.org <http://clipol.org>, with feedback being most welcome 
and appreciated!  Note that, due to the increased complexities, I did 
have to diverge from the OD schema (which I'd originally planned to 
merely extend).

 From these license schemas, which you can view and use an API to 
retrieve, you'll see I've also implemented some tools to automatically 
generate user-friendly licence information, determine compatibility, 
compare licences and more.
