Apart from the fact that it has nothing whatever to do with Fair Use, of

Actually, the official name of the button is "Request Eprint" in EPrints
and "Request Copy" in DSpace, but it wasn't until we started calling it
the "Fair Use Button" that people finally began to twig on what it was
actually for, and what it means, and what it can and will do! So I'm
quite happy with the nickname... It's also made the logic of the ID/OA
mandate more transparent.
