That's not something that is intended -- that's what the big long
previous message about NC and ND content was supposed to be about. You
can't claim something as fair use unless it is genuinely fair use,
whether all rights reserved or ND/NC. If something that happens to be
ND  or NC licensed instead of all rights reserved is fair use, it
should be treated no differently than material that is all rights
reserved under than policy.
