It might be useful to build a quick reference list for people to
consult.  The list could contain references to relevant legal precedences
and quotations from copyright law that are particularly relavent.  Granted
it'd be better to have a deeper expert understanding of it, but it would
help for casual discussion with the more legally savvy.
