The FSF have a (fee-based) license consulting service, which covers these types of questions. There are reduced rates for corporate patrons, with an initial 2 free hours -- see http://patron.fsf.org/benefits.html for details. I have used the service myself for checking compliance with the GFDL, and it worked well. -- Brian Gough Network Theory Ltd, Publishing Free Software Manuals --- http://www.network-theory.co.uk/
