Something that wouldn't work is a .well-known/LICENSE as it isn't easily parse-able. Too bad because it would be an ideal solution for website owners but a terrible one for crawlers. If the well-known URI simply refered to a SPDX license[0], it could work for robots too, as a simple lookup table with the name and capabilities could be built.

However, this could be reduced to a simple format that describes what is allowed to do with the content (ditching the lookup table and allowing custom licenses), which is exactly what was proposed.
