That's pretty important then, right? Because IIRC circuit court decisions inform judgement in later such cases - and the only way the legal interpretation can be rejudged is in a full appeals court?

That can be true, but there are 13 circuits and a decision in one has force only within its own jurisdiction. In any case, it's clear that Wikimedia is not held to these rules, but that's rather beside the point. We should *want* this information, whether we are required to have it or not.
