VOResource 1.1 rights

[Pierre Fernique]

Dear Registry members,

Concerning "rights" mention I would say that the best method is the 
method which is really used. Potential multiple rights mentions is 
probably not a good point for this rule. A free text field is 
definitively more flexible that the current VOResource 1.0 solution, and 
can tackle all potential various rights situation.

Below, an excerpt of our private discussion between Markus and myself 
concerning Aladin usage of registry rights.

Cheers
Pierre
