Yes, by default I think it is obvious that license information is
about the work rather than the record itself, and I have no personal
interest in attaching licenses to bibliographic metadata records; but
this does not mean that others cannot, if they desire.

Yes, any suggestions from the list on how we might identify a license
object as being about the record itself rather than the work would be
useful.
