If you want an introduction to the the open source licenses, see http://www.opensource.org/ Debian-legal is a good site. I monitor that as well. However, I should be able to answer your questions. I'm a lawyer (specializing in intellectual property issues) as wall as an Adjunct Professor of Law teaching Computer Law (CyberLaw) and a member of the FreePM development group. As many people don't monitor debian-legal, and might be interested in the same issues that you address, it might be helpful for you to address those questions here. You can always address debian-legal later for a second/third/fourth opinion.
