I want to read more about the legal aspects of open source licensing - both generally in terms of what kind of case law exists, and specifically around what constitutes "distribution."
But IANAL, so I've googled, but I don't know how to evaluate the trustworthiness of the results. I assume that in law, as in software development, there are a lot of bad takes out there. 
Law and law-adjacent folks: any pointers?
I have been working with a few of the people at the Google OSPO on an open source casebook: https://google.github.io/opencasebook/ . This is a curated collection of primary source materials (cases, statutes,etc) and thought questions, exactly as would be used in a law school class.
I like TLDR legal https://tldrlegal.com/
the open source case book from google is the most detailed one I’ve seen https://google.github.io/opencasebook/
Maybe @richardfontana will do a lawsplainer?
There aren't really any good secondary resources IMO, and (for better or worse) there's been very little case law on open source licensing
Maybe in the archives of Groklaw? http://groklaw.net/
I would ask @alexhmoss because she is the best and also works at EFF
IANAL but I used a great IP attorney when I ran a bootstrapped SW company. Law is like software, lots of ways to do things, each with pros and cons. He asked us to be clear re: desired outcome, then would detail possibilities and trade offs. So blue sky, what’s the objective?
With the objectives firmly in mind, it’s possible to see how licenses may be written with respect to: -Legality -Verifiability -Enforceability -Other -ilities good counsel will identify So I think you’re on to something, but I’d love to see more detail about the intended outcome
I think as this gets fleshed out, you’ll end up with a suite of documents that get to the goal together, things like: Articles of incorporation and by-laws IP assignment documents Licenses
This is a helpful take on the question of what's next.https://words.steveklabnik.com/what-comes-after-open-source …
I highly recommend reading Zuboff's book "The age of surveillance capitalism" to find the paths towards the future of the free software movement (open source is about something else, ma need other future paths)https://www.publicaffairsbooks.com/titles/shoshana-zuboff/the-age-of-surveillance-capitalism/9781610395694/ …
