Anywhere it is that licenses written by non-lawyers mean anything. Which 
means, pretty much everywhere copyright laws may apply today.

Fair use traditionally overrides *any* license, thus if you know you can 
claim fair use for the use of PiDiP, you can use PiDiP legally. But I 
don't know enough about the rules of fair use, and I think it's fairly 
more country-dependent than your average part of copyright law.
