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?
Just say "Link only" and write out the link, without making it clickable.

El correcto. As long as the article is properly posted and duly attributed, post #1 can pretty much say anything, within profanity guidelines, of course.
