As regards a copyright primer for language folks -- you might find
ours useful. It was developed by Howard Barnaby, a copyright lawyer
now on the staff of the Yale Center for Language Study, in
consultation with the Yale General Counsel's Office. We've had a
number of institutions ask us for permission to link to it - granted,
of course. See http://www.cls.yale.edu/ip.
But whatever guidelines you want to use -- do be sure to show them to
your own Counsel's Office, because institutions vary as to the rigor
with which they interpret different parts of copyright law and fair use.
Best,
Nina
