I also think there is a philosophical point here: we are supposed to
be the shining beacon of Free Culture, and while that doesn't mean
that we don't protect our content, it also means that we don't go
around suing everyone RIAA-style. Whether or not it's "Fair Use",
legally speaking, it is certainly not super-nefarious-evil-"Unfair
Use" by common sense standards. It's just a random sentence

Let them have it.
