Whether something is fair use has to be judged on the very specific
instance in question, not clear to me that RMS has opined on a very
specific issue, if so, I missed it.

BTW, the copyright holder has in general nothing to say about whether
something is or is not fair use, that is a statutory issue, based on
the four tests, none of which involves copyright holder input.
