Are you saying that if I read an article, and post my summary of that article here on FR, in my own words, FR could be accused of copyright infringement?

No, then you would be the author of the thread and can say or word it anyway you choose.

Thanks.

My question originated with this thought; Some sources don’t allow us to post the article, only a link to their site is allowed. How can we let readers on FR know if they want to bother clicking?

Is it safe to assume from your answer that if the headline is posted, along with the link (as it is done now on FR), and post number one consisted of a Freeper summary of the article, without any direct quotes, that the legal aspects of not posting the article itself have been met?
