That was my first thought on this too ... except that I cannot see how a
contract arises in this instance. Rather I suspect that the licence
agreement is just terms under which the copyright owner waives their
rights under the copyright legislation. In that case, the EULA will not
have effect to override the fair dealing provisions.

Go see a copyright lawyer if its important to you....
