Abstract
A computer-implemented mechanism for granting rights to a resource is described. A license identifies one or more principals, resources, rights and conditions in fields of the license. The license fields include one or more instances of one or more variables. The variables are universally quantified so that each variable may be any one of a set of values. All instances of any given variable are bound to the same value.
