Hi Sandy,

A little late to the discussion (because I’ve been inundated
remediating licenses) but here is a clause straight out of the Oxford
University Press license that came from the press:

2.4    Nothing in this Agreement will limit the Authorized Users’
rights to make Fair Use of the Licensed Works.

Is this what you were asking for?

Best,

Peggy

Can you cite me an example of such contractual language?  Many
publishers are still making the mistake of including notices on their
copyright pages that, if taken literally, would exclude the
applicability of fair use. That is definitely overreach.

But Sandy, Very many, if not most, licenses do exactly that - uphold
the applicability of copyright law, including, often explicitly, its
fair use provisions.
