Specify licence for re-use of API metadata records

[staplegun]

NMA are looking to release the API records possibly under CC BY-NC. Need to determine if this should appear in every record (e.g. in _meta.licence), or just in the API documentation.

I can confirm that we agreed to a CC BY-NC licence.

Trove prefers license_ref to be in every record.. however it needs to cover both the record and the thumbnail image... we have different rights for the image.

So I am thinking that we don't include a license_ref, but state this in the API documentation, And we have the image rights in each record, as we are already working on.

From our last conversation, the decision was made to include the license reference for each record even though this will be the same for every record. Noting that the images have their own licence.
