And I would guess in this thread are many aspects mixed together
(outspoken and hidden; technical, social, historical, personal, legal).
I know that probably all is connected and maybe one caused each other.

But my idea would be that we would try to separate the problems a bit
from each other (in different threads?).

E.G:
Against the fear/threat of being (with or without effort) sued for
making the openSUSE Weekly News I would have those points in mind:
- Asking the original authors
- No full repetition of hole articles nor big parts of them
- More indirect citing (telling in the own words)
- ?Maybe a bit more concentration on issues of openSUSE?
- Asking others what they think about the way that the openSUSE Weekly
News are made.
- Protection for the ones that give effort to the openSUSE community


The least point is in my view at least worth a different thread.
Maybe as an part of the (planned?) discussion about possible goals of
the unborn openSUSE foundation/legal person for the community?
