Despite the copyright holder (well, RMS, but he certainly can be
interpreted as speaking for the FSF) saying plainly and clearly that he
thinks that you *cannot* do this?
Whether something is fair use has to be judged on the very specific
instance in question, not clear to me that RMS has opined on a very
specific issue, if so, I missed it.
BTW, the copyright holder has in general nothing to say about whether
something is or is not fair use, that is a statutory issue, based on
the four tests, none of which involves copyright holder input.
