 There is a book that was recently published called SYSLAW.  It is, apparently
 out of print, but your local library might be able to help you.  I'm rummaging
 through a huge pile of stuff trying to find the publishers information, but no
 luck!  Let me know if there is more information that you need, and I'll try to
 access it for you.  The book covers such things as licensing, legal issues of
 all sorts, and more.  Fabulous resource!!  Good luck!
