Mastodon has more than seven thousands Instances, each with its own personal rules that must be evaluated one by one.

But in fact there are not more than seven thousand different regulations: many are identical to each other or differ only in a few points.

I think users, moderators, and admins would find it very convenient if Instances could choose to adopt some basic set of common regulations: something like GPL or Creative Commons licenses.

If you see that Instance X has adopted the Type "A" License you already know what it is without having to read the various points and so on.

And if Istance Y has adopted the same license but added few points, you need to read only those.
