Ok.
I'll still take the stance that because this hasn't gone to court
that we don't know what the courts will decide.
And, since fair use can be a bit of a slippery concept this makes
sense to me.
But I stand by what I've been saying so far: that the issue of
what files the instructions are stored in is a red herring: the
questions are fair use issues, not storage format issues.
