Ask HN: Are licensing agreemements protected by copyright law?

It's a strange question perhaps, but copyright law can be applied to creative works and it seems that most license agreements would satisfy that to some extent.

There's a fair use argument: but that seems to me like it should only extend to those who are licensed the software and anyone that they reasonably need to share it with (e.g.: legal or technical counsel).

Even then, fair use for licensees would extend only so far as using the license with regards to the licensed content;

Fair use would not permit the license being repurposed for use with other software.

I imagine that it's jurisdictional to some extent (or that I'm an idiot, who should just shut up already).
