i think it would be even more obvious if the docment metadata and licence were tabs in the Document Prefs...
but that is another change again...
i agree, having default metadata in the inskcape prefs is could easily lead to confusion and is redundant.

So, can anyone comment on this please? If no one comments I will roll
back this change.
