The interesting thing is how close the decision appears to have been, and the suggestions you can glean from it if you want to publish such a lexicon. The decision lists all the things that were in its favour and all the things that were against it, and you could easily use them as a check-list to make sure you're legal (at least in the US / 2nd Circuit). Some of them would've made it better (be consistently scholarly, avoid sloppy entries where you just quote large chunks of the original), some of them worse (don't copy from the author's own A-Z works), but all of them easily doable.
