of a compiler is a derivative work of (or "work based on") the compiler
or any standard libraries that must be provided as part of a conforming

A point of clarification on fair use. "Fair use" is based on copyright.
Hence, the license may control uses that would otherwise be deemed fair uses
under the default rules of copyright. In this respect, it is not consistent
with open source philosophy to specify what uses the licensor considers

Quite so. As you know (or should have known :-) ), I hold that an
open-source license can only grant away the rights that the copyright owner
gets from the applicable copyright law,

We are in agreement.
My point was simple - - although my explanation was too laconic, sorry about
that - - you are far better of by keeping fair use issues out of the
license.
