Given the multimillion dollar fiasco that Oracle just ran Google through based (ultimately) on 9 lines of code, I find Jeff's statement—"That said, a snippet of code falls under excerpt category and thus should be free to use under fair use."—to be either outdated or naive. This is one of those times when his opinion should have been clearly marked as IANAL.
