This is actually a potentially big deal for the net.
Gatehouse, which publishes community newspapers, sued the New York Times, because the Boston Globe, which it owns, was generating "Google News" style links, which show the hed and the first sentence or so.
Basically, the Times agreed not to link, but maintains its right to do so.
Complicating the issue was that the Globe tech folk went out of their way to avoid technical measures that Gatehouse put up to prevent this.
