As per issue: https://github.com/SEMICeu/DCAT-AP/issues/63

Therefore we propose to use CC BY 4.0 in alignment of DCAT-AP.
This issue has been discussed during the webinar of the 09 December 2020. Given that no objections were raised when the proposed resolution was presented, the change will therefore be included in the next release of CPSV-AP.
This change has been made in CPSV-AP 3.0, therefore this issue will be closed.
Like for DCAT-AP, the CPSV-AP RDF schema released should include the ISA Open Metadata Licence v1.1
The RDF used in DCAT-AP is:
