I'm still not 100% on decoding licensing. What are the terms of the University of Michigan's license (see blow)? Does this mean a Wikinewsie cannot directly quote anything in their study?

This license limits the ability reporters to extensively quote or exactly duplicate complete reports. Reasonable sections may be quoted or copied as news worthy, especially as the use is transformative, under the fair use defense and under the first amendment of the United States Constitution.
It is particularly difficult to avoid what is known as the "heart of the copyright" test: this test examines whether what is being used constitutes the primary element of the copyrighted material. For this specific site it would be very difficult to copy all the data from a given survey and claim "fair use"; but some of the data and/or the conclusions from a survey would be reasonable fair use.

It seems very similar to any other copirighted texts.
You could not qoute the whole text, but you could read it and write down what you have read (with your own words) (remember copyright protects text and word, not research)

hi,
my little POV,
What's the role of Wikinews vs Wikipedia ?
For me Wikinews MAIN role is to REPORT news, linked to Commons and Wikipedia content but also to facts, reality, now and today. the WIkipedia MAIN role is to built an UNBURNABLE library of knowledge available for all (yes, i am one of the rare people still crying for Alexandria library burning to ground) *To write encyclopedia you need to know the status of the knowledge you fetch, it's the Copyright (Author Rights, ...) in order to write an entry. *To report news we need all the privileges and responsabilities of RR (Real Reality) journalists. Ans it's just named Press Freedom !
It's named Fair Use and 1st Amendment in the USA, but this law concerned JUST USA, remember that.
Wikinewsies, WikiJournalist, Wikireporter (choose the one you like) would able to QUOTE otherwise Wikinews is Non Sense !!!
Am i right ?
jacques Divol who tries to awake Wikinews-l people before Chrismas poudding !!
