Yes, it does, and for all the reasons you mention. I'm not as worried
anymore. :) I see in particular how the culture is a complexity,
especially as being wary of publicity for considered-private practice
communities.
One reason we wrote 'The Open Source Way' is to give non-technical
communities a branded cluebat to wield, "See, it works this way over
there in open source and can work for us similarly over here." If you
all ever have any good stories/examples that would be compelling to
lawyers, send 'em my way (or inject them yourselves[1].)
Thanks for providing it; there is a lot of useful content there to
read and think about, and I'm sure some lessons we can learn (even for
someone like me who thinks of themselves as fairly community-clueful.)
