title: Semantic HTML markup for a copyright notice
body: <p>When a web site is licensed under Creative Commons, I use the <a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-license" rel="noreferrer">rel-license microformat</a>. When a web site is licensed under regular copyright, I have a boring paragraph element.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;p id="copyright"&gt;&amp;copy; 2008 Example Corporation&lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That id attribute on there is just for CSS styling purposes. I'm wondering if there's some better way to markup a copyright notice that is more semantic. Is this a job for Dublin Core metadata? If so, how do I go about it? (I've never used Dublin Core before.)</p>
  
  <p>Some web sites advocate using a meta tag in the head element:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;meta name="copyright" content="name of owner"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which might be seen by search engines, but doesn't replace the user-visible notice on the page itself.</p>
