It's my understanding (and this is a draftsman trying to make sense of
legalese, so if wrong, I'd welcome learning such is the case) that when you
find capital-U Use, this is the definition as given in 1g, while little-u
use would be the dictionary definition, the same manner the capital-D
Distributing is defined in 1c.

Therefore, you could read 1g to mean: "Capital-U Use includes the dictionary
definition of use and also includes copying, Distributing, editing,
formatting, modifying, translating, or otherwise creating something else
with it."

So are the lawyers here finally rubbing off on me, or did I farge that all
up?
