I thought fair use was automatically disclaimed when you receive an explicit licence, reducing the baseline to taint=derivation (which is the main reason open source developers avoid looking at closed source software that performs similar function), unless your licence specifies otherwise. And some countries are not signatory to Berne convention, instead to Buenos Aires convention, which is much stricter and does not have a common fair use stipulation. > Criticism is never a matter of editing someone else's work; it's commenting about the work. It is. Every consumption is an edit. You edit to remove everything not related to your criticism and add your opinion.

Regarding this claim: > fair use was automatically disclaimed Here's what the organization behind the CC licenses explains: > By design, CC licenses do not reduce, limit, or restrict any rights under exceptions and limitations to copyright, such as fair use or fair dealing. If your use of CC-licensed material would otherwise be allowed because of an applicable exception or limitation, you do not need to rely on the CC license or comply with its terms and conditions. This is a fundamental principle of CC licensing. [1] Regarding this ridiculous assertion: > And some countries are not signatory to Berne convention, instead to Buenos Aires convention, which is much stricter and does not have a common fair use stipulation. Every country that is a signatory of the Buenos Aires Convention [2] is ALSO a signatory to the Berne Convention. [3] Your last claim is not worth substantive reply.
