Is there a link to a more exact specification? I mean checking the accuracy of
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/COM:FOP
and extending it comes to mind but I don't know if that would qualify.
Similar projects would probably be finding out what the various laws
relating to government produced documents actually are (we kinda fall
apart outside the western world) and finding out how legal say the GPL
actually is in the face the more agressive of moral rights clauses.
