After taking a look only at reference #1 (more of a quick glance), the terms of
use *do* seem to be kind of arbitrary, as to what constitutes 'impermissible
aggregation.' (Not being able to use a Sketchup model in a research paper-- that
seems kind of strange, for example.) Just from the various questions/examples
given, it seems that there could be just as many 'can't use' situations arising
as 'can use' ones, with somewhat of a fine line separating the two. I guess(?)
the detailed answers to any given situation are spelled out elsewhere.
