Ideally a dataset has just a single license and that is probably the case for the original data providers.
On the other hand, there might be combined datasets. Think about 16 German states providing data under different licenses and then someone comes and wants to merge into a single German dataset. In this case, different licenses apply for each dataset.
Also, how to encode the license? In STAC it's SPDX license identifier (e.g. Apache-2.0 or CC-BY-4.0) or a link in the links array.
I'm not sure whether we'll have a link construct #1, but it could also just be SPDX or a URL in the same field...
