Resources for learning about licensing and copyright?

Question

Recently I had the chance to read https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses-license.html , as well as look into Creative Commons CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ ). I've started looking through and reading into the CC licenses as well as FOSS licenses; but do you know of any resources that would help me along in interpreting?

There are lots of ways to look up the law, even as a lay person--googling copyright law gives you this--
https://www.copyright.gov/title17/
Google Scholar can also give you scholarly articles and guides
the online legal encyclopedia, nolo.com is usually helpful
and licensing, which could be state-by-state can be looked up, state by state on lawhelp.org
