There is more to fair use than just using a small

Indeed. Care to go down the list at [[Fair use]] and check the
others for applicability?
First I'd argue the use is de minimis, but that might fail...
purpose and character - highly transformative
nature of the copyrighted work - non-fictional work that anyone can
download for free over the internet
amount and substantiality - not much
effect on the work's value - zero
4/4, I declare fair use the winner
