Copyright law includes the concept of "fair use" to cover this problem.
For example, one can quote a paragraph from a book in order to critique
it. You can do this without permission of the copyright holder. The
exact terms of "fair use" are rather vauge, but I can probably dig up some
"guidelines" and post them(1) if others are interested.
If my interpretation of the LUGNET policy is correct, then as long as the
quote is within "fair use" it can be posted to LUGNET (assuming the
absence of other issues such as privacy, etc).
Dave
(1) according to fair use, of course :)
