I would suggest finding a law professor who writes about open source and asking them if they recommend any casebooks (voluminous textbook full of long excerpts from judicial opinions) or hornbooks (more succinct summaries of an area of law, like textbooks in other fields of study) on open source and/or software copyright generally. To really get the issues discussed in this sub-thread and at issue in the SFC/Vizio case, you would want to know about contract remedies, privity of contract, third party beneficiaries, license agreements as a special species of contract, standing, and maybe some other areas too. But I think software engineers are actually well suited to understanding law, especially if they also have an innate interest in political/moral philosophical questions.
