A key step correcting (if there is indeed a problem) would be to find a question that is closed citing copyright that is a license question instead. | |

A quick inspection doesn't show any licensing issues that are closed as copyright (there is quite a bit of confusion between the two). They really delve into the legal questions and not licensing type questions (how do I use BSD license in a GPL project?) that needs a lawyer to answer it. | |
| Feb 27, 2014 at 19:03 | comment | added | Bart van Ingen Schenau | I agree with your assessment of that particular question that it is a contract issue. But I wasn't really interested in that particular question, but more in the trend that I see regarding copyright being cited as a close reason. | |
