Sorry, I probably overinterpret, after trying for so long to
understand other languages, including lawyer-English.

Maybe you are your own nation-state!

This isn't just in Trading Standards. It's also common in
education, with scare posters and bad information about when
you can and can't copy displayed in schools and colleges. See
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/fsfe-uk/2004-08/msg00013.html
for some examples.

I don't understand why these are usually displayed in libraries.
Librarians have been some of the most knowledgeable non-lawyers
I've met, so I would have expected them to see through the lies.

On a related note, the FOSSLib HOWTO is back online again at
http://mjr.towers.org.uk/proj/libraries/ - if it's useful
or if anyone wants to contribute, let me know and I'll link,
apply docbook patches and/or speed up opening the development.

Good luck with the schools,
