<p>The <code title=rel-license><a href=#link-type-license>license</a></code> keyword indicates

<p>This specification does not specify how to distinguish between
the main content of a document and content that is not deemed to be
part of that main content. The distinction should be made clear to
the user.</p>

<div class=example>

<p>Consider a photo sharing site. A page on that site might
describe and show a photograph, and the page might be marked up as
follows:</p>

<pre>&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;title&gt;Exampl Pictures: Kissat&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;link rel="stylesheet href="/style/default"&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Kissat&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;nav&gt;
&lt;a href="../"&gt;Return to photo index&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/nav&gt;
&lt;img src="/pix/39627052_fd8dcd98b5.jpg"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of them has six toes!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a rel="license" href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php"&gt;MIT Licensed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;footer&gt;
&lt;a href="/"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="../"&gt;Photo index&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&copy; copyright 2009 Exampl Pictures. All Rights Reserved.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/footer&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;</pre>

<p>In this case the <code title=rel-license><a href=#link-type-license>license</a></code>
applies to just the photo (the main content of the document), not
the whole document. In particular not the design of the page
itself, which is covered by the copyright given at the bottom of
the document. This could be made clearer in the styling
(e.g. making the license link prominently positioned near the
photograph, while having the page copyright in light small text at
the foot of the page.</p>
