For your information, from foundation-l.
P.S. I'm back, and now in the Kansai int'l airport. My laptop doesn't
work as for wireless connection, so I'm afraid I have to send it to
the factory for repair. My availability will be low until this
technical trouble is fixed.

I had a look at
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Simpsons
Can anybody from the foundation board explain to me why these bulk of
copyrighted quotes is "fair use"?
There is the general opinion at Wikiquote that the Exemption Doctrine
Policy (EDP) resp. the Licensing policy is referring only to image or
multi-media use. But browsing Wikiquote one has the impression that
the most part of Wikiquote can only be justified with "fair use".

I've asked before, and I was told by Erik
"You wikiquote has to develop his own exemption doctrine"
yet we're really stalled as we don't know this precise kind of things
Board resolution on EDPs said the foundation/board (can't recall
which) would provide assistance to wikis so they can develop their
EDPs, and for what I've seen these months, the wikiquote case is
recurrent but noone is willing to sit down and work with us the legal
details
