Edward, two problems:
1. LDP has no legal existence as a "person". This would require
re-forming as a corporation or some other legal entity.
2. Even if it did, unlike the sort of "publisher" you envision,
LDP doesn't gain copyright title under contract, and so would
have no standing to enforce document licence terms.
