For starters CC0 and PDDL could be defined as first examples. Of course it would be quite tricky to decide where to draw the line and what define in machine readable format and what not, defining an ontology as complete legal language for machines for describing laws in RDF (OWL) would be a quite overshot obviously at this stage of development (though undeniably useful and interesting). Just making a RDF class for licenses would be good for me (though programmers would have to hard wire which licenses are acceptable in their apps).
