Also note that "fair use" isn't a universal concept - UK law doesn't include it (the "fair dealing" provisions that deal with the same sort of thing are significantly more limited), and so any argument that something is "free enough" based on the existence of fair use provisions isn't a terribly strong one. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
