What else would be on our copyright reform wishlist? Maybe putting together
a list of such things would make for a good meta page? I can think offhand
of:

- FOP
- orphan works reform (if done correctly, could be useful for Wikibooks)
- term reform/limitation (i.e., fighting the next wave of term extensions)
- standardized limitations and exceptions:
http://infojustice.org/flexible-use (possibly this approach is too vague to
be useful for us)

I think Dimi had a list somewhere too?
