I tend to agree that there is not a persuasive reason to throw out  
our copyright policy for this. "I like it" has its place, but  
copyright isn't one of them.

That said, surely demarcating the limits of IAR is an astonishing  
missing of the point. The reason IAR is a bad thing to cite here is  
not that IAR doesn't apply - it's that the reason for ignoring the  
rules is a poor one.
