CC OpenSearch

It is not clear whether http://www.opensearch.org/Specifications/OpenSearch already permits annotating results with licenses (see Syndication for how to do this in RSS1.0, RSS2.0, and Atom1.0). If not, an extension should be created.

When OpenSearch facilitates license annotations (which may be already), producers and consumers of OpenSearch results should be encouraged to utilize license info -- store, display, offer filters, as appropriate to the service in question.
