Pursuant to an email and pull request I'd like to send about the use
of "shall", I'm trying to grok Sec. 10.4.
Is the idea to remedy the line of cases that suggest that licensees
are not protected by 17 USC 117, and particularly 17 USC 117(a)(1)?
(See Part 3 of
http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=9093856475999715707
for something of a summary of these cases.)
Or is it something else? If so, what is it?
[git blame is not useful here because of section renumberings and the
like, and my perusal of the commit history hasn't found the actual
commit that added this text. Apologies if the commit message provided
useful context.]
Thanks-
Luis
