   Oh, and if
quotes are copyrightable (and we can only use them under
 "fair use"), please explain to me how Wikiquote can exist?
  I did not say that quotes were copyrightable; you cannot claim copyright 
 on something that is already copyright by someone else, or is in the 
 public domain.  I said, "...unless the work is in the public domain the 
 use of any quotation from it is an example of fair use"   Wikiquote can 
 exist because of fair use. 
IANAL, which is why I'm crossposting to foundation-l so that someone can
clarify this for us; does Wikiquote really only exist because of the
"fair use" provision in US law?
