I have not had time to review the entire license (have been on
vacation, and CC 4.0 beta 3 is also in need of my eyeballs) but I
would say that, while this change is correct in some sense, it makes
the license less readable for non-lawyers, who would have no idea what
this section refers to, and so might be unable to take advantage of
it. I might suggest:

"applicable law, such as fair use, fair dealing, or other equivalents."
