The DU limit is to avoid copyright infringement disputes with copyrighted works.

From Cory's site.


This work – excluding any serialized fiction – is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. That means you can use it any way you like, including commercially, provided that you attribute it to me, Cory Doctorow, and include a link to pluralistic.net.

I and others have had no problems posting Creative Commons and US government official documents in total.

Because they are not "you may not copy" copyright, where "fair use" is considered 4 paragraphs.

IANAL, but this works.
