[Wikipedia-l] Stallman on fair use

[Jimmy Wales]

Marco Krohn was kind enough to email RMS on this fair use issue.

Marco asked:
>>While discussing (on the mailing list wikitech-l at wikipedia.org) the
>>usage of "fair use" images/music a lengthy discussion came up if it is
>>compatible with GFDL to use "fair use" images at all.

RMS responded:
>If the use of these images is truly fair use, then it is ok
>regardless of what license you use for your work.
>
>Whether this use of the images is truly fair use, that I don't know.

Marco:
>>This is surely covered by the "fair use" right of the United States, but is
>>the resulting article including the citation still compatible with GFDL?

RMS:
>Yes.  I don't think there is really an issue here.

Additionally, RMS doesn't seem to think we need to rely at all on the
aggregation argument, and finds that aspect of things confusing.
