Usenet for me is always a starting point. I came here to attempt to
educate myself a little more, so that if I did happen to have a
discussion with a lawyer I'd at least have some idea what I was
talking about.  Part of my initial post was asking about lawyers that
specialize in this sort of thing... Perhaps I should have been more
specific - could anyone recommend a lawyer that specializes in the
GPL?

If one day I did happen to end up in court, I wasn't planning on going
there with my defence being "But a bunch of guys on usenet
said...!" :)
