It would be really nice to be able to select e.g. a CC license for my
vocabulary from a drop-down, and have the appropriate RDF included.

Good idea. As a workaround for the moment, you can include the appropriate
triple in the “custom RDF” field.

Here's a proposed design.

At the bottom of the vocab page:

“This vocabulary documentation is published under the XYZ license.”

In the RDF output:

<> dc:license <XYZ_URI>.

In the vocabulary form: a dropdown field “License” after the “Authors”
field. The default value of the dropdown is “None”. If “None” is the value
that is saved, then the vocabulary page and the RDF output don't say
anything about license.

The values for supported licenses are (name, URI):

- None

- Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY)
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

- Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA)
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/

- Creative Commons public domain waiver (CC0)
http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/

For now that's enough, later on we might want to add more.

sounds good, but you could allow any <XYZ_URI> a cc:License, and I think
there is a cc:license property too. Don't know which has most use.

This issue has been fixed and the new feature of Licensing for vocabularies
has been added for the release 0.5.3 of Neologism. The design followed was
the explained in the Comment #6.
