I don't think you'll see a better summary of the situation than this. And yes, I realise the irony of copying and pasting an entire advertising-funded page, but when the advert covers the entire page and makes the article unreadable then I think it's fair use! (see http://tinypic.com/r/15fxxf/9 )

Re: License question
