Are legal rights only available to people who understand the law and have a legal degree?

No, this is why we hire lawyers if we choose not to study
law ourselves.

If we are taking the legal system as our model of openness, then open-source software has come to a sorry pass indeed.

It is also important to distinguish what's best
for *you* and what's best for the project.
Maybe *you* don't want to be responsible for
doing all the documentation.  I can understand
that.  But the project as a whole would be better
off it it had better documentation.  Perhaps
you could recruit other folks to help with this.
But disdaining the whole concept isn't a good
way to start the recruiting.
