I did not say anything about fine art prints. Commercial use is not fine art 
use. However selling hundreds of copies printed on your trusty Epson probably 
is 
commercial use; and I am pretty dam sure selling thousands of litho prints is 
no 
matter how artsy the image is. You keep putting specific stuff in when it is 
pretty clear I am talking generalities.

You read something that is not in anyway definitive and think you know all 
about 
that particular case. I would think, myself, that a university's attorneys 
would 
be better than average and might just know what they are doing. I am not 
qualified to make a legal decision on a case I have not read, wouldn't be even 
if I was a lawyer.

Not being clairvoyant I have no idea what the attorneys in that particular case 
are doing, they may be wrong, then again they may be crafty as heck. You of 
course have read their minds and know all, so I will do as I intended and shut 
the eff up.
