I am not objecting to this wording, but I am afraid it covers situation
where there is no easy solution, in particular, it does not offer
solutions when the convenience copy is not a library. I think that
generally, the severity of a policy violation should differ whether
there is an 'easy' way out or not. However, it might be that the
word 'convenience copy' address this concerns. (A embedded copy is a
convenience copy as long as you could reasonnably do without it).
