Hmmm... I hadn't seen that under this angle before, but I think that both
are slightly different.
Using the DC Rights elements means that the linked resource describes the
licence applied to the RDDL document as such.
Using a rddl:resource with a purpose of licence would mean that the linked
resource describes the licence applied to the namespace, which is more
general.
