text: fair use is also a concept that only applies in certain jurisdictions, and probably does not apply to much of the world, and is known as `fair dealing' where osm is concerned.
  
  and it is intended for context in criticism and the like, and is inapplicable in the osm case of creating a map (as opposed to a comparison of osm against other mapping services, f'rinstance).
  
  also, to paraphrase richard as found often, osm seeks to be whiter than white and does not attempt to push the boundaries of copyright law.
  
  fair use does not exist *at all* where i am concerned, and where very few governments allow any of their data inclusion into osm.  luckily i didn't throw that at nakaner when he demanded that part of a copyrighted article quoted be deleted (provided for context in place of a rewritten summary).
  
  this is also why i do not even look at sources unless they are specifically listed as acceptable to osm, leaving it to those in these countries to know their local rules the best, rather than trying to keep it straight in me pitifully little or no brane.
