Wikipedia and Wikimedia's duty to exercise that right is to exercise
it to the maximum degree necessary "to empower and engage people
around the world to collect and develop educational content under a
free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it
effectively and globally." This, in my opinion, is very little.
I guess it depends on what you mean by "very little". Certainly classes
of fair use, or its equivalent in other countries, are pretty much
essential to our mission, like being able to quote from news reports and
works of literature or speeches.
