It seems that a private mail was followed up on the list...

Anyway, don't try to come up with quantitative criteria. I recall a
Jack London story involving a stolen potato. The problem was, it
happened in a prospectors' camp during Yukon or Alaskan winter, and
potatoes were essential to fight scurvy.

So it's not quantity, it's circumstances. It should be fairly clear to
everybody who is not of communist persuasion that generally speaking
copying copyrighted materials is bad. There are known exceptions in
the world of, say, music, TV, radio, etc, involving the notion of
"fair use". I suggest you try to discuss the possible circumstances of
fair use of software.
