Okay, though focusing on metadata makes the point a bit more specific than
"Foster a discussion about Open Data and rights" - the UK guidelines cited [2]
refer to data, even if "bibliographic" data is the focus of that particular
section.

How about [1]:

    In defining rights for data, rights owners must consider the impact of
    usage restrictions, as complex restrictions only complicate the re-use
    of data in a Linked Data environment.  It makes sense to seek agreement about
    rights and licensing at the level of library consortia or even on a
    national or international scale. (For an example, see the
    [http://obd.jisc.ac.uk/rights-and-licensing Rights and Licensing] section
    of the [http://obd.jisc.ac.uk/ Open Bibliographic Data Guide] for UK
    higher-education libraries.)

I'm also wondering whether "Rights in Licensing" should be in quotes, and 
uppercase (as in the original), with "Open Bibliographic Data Guide" (a "book"
title) in italics...?
