If only public policy could be made to prevail instead, in lieu of
litigation. Sadly, the nuances of Gail's and John's positions, taken
together, suggest everyone but the lawyers (like me) do better when
academic work uses clearly and only "Fair Use Sources and Software".
Any other course exposes the institution to liability, and, worse,
diverts precious finite resources from research to legal.

An unpopular view, I know, but the laws by which it is reached are
very real.

Peace,
