Is there some proprietary-software-industry respected organisation which
keeps track of the legal issues surrounding what we're talking about?

I'm wondering if we can point people towards a third party resource
which _does_ have recognised legal weight.

I've found http://www.bsa.org and http://www.comptia.org so far. Without
specifically recommending them do people think this is a direction worth
following. Surely it is the owner of the patent and the legal system
which has the job of informing users. Have we heard anything about all
this from the legal buffs?
