Your unattributed quote "quotations are fair use" is plagiarism, and that is unacceptable. You should give Joseph Carter credit where it is due. He wrote "attributed quotations are fair use" in a post to debian-legal: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2001/05/msg00001.html , and your post was clearly ripped off from that.
Well then, better let Joseph Carter know that Gilbert B. Rodman wrote, in 1998 - http://www.iaspm.net/rpm/CopyRi_1.html - "reasonable" quotations are "fair use."
