Okay, I'll admit that I attended law school for a couple of years. But, I'm not a lawyer. Here is the most important thing I learned: Layman reading legal texts and thinking they understand what it means is a recipe for disaster.

In legalese, "terms of art", there are all sorts of hidden or different meanings than everyday English. This is what lead a certain lawyer to quibble over the meaning of the word "is".

I'm not an expert, but the way I read your citations, it is still illegal for the band director to copy the clarinet part.
