  A few pages for personal study?  That's fair use by any meaningful

english language.

It is of course way off topic, but just so no one is confused, "fair use" does not mean "use that anyone would consider fair", it refers specifically to the fair use section of the copyright act, which lays out very specific criteria. So the question of "perfectly clear words and phrases" is not the issue. I suggest anyone interested actually read the statute!


    cheers,
