Odd that people linked to a comment on the TeleRead post I made examining the issue, but nobody seems to have mentioned the post itself, in which I dispelled the mistaken belief some people have raised here—that the decision endangers the publication of other reference books.
In fact, the decision is very favorable toward reference books in general—it's just that the Lexicon quoted substantially more of Rowling's own prose (sometimes without citing or quotating it) than was necessary to write such a book.
