you'll have to ask a lawyer on that.

since this is a non-commercial enterprise, there's no revenue for
burrough's estate to litigate over. and i have no idea whether
burrough's estate is so money grubbing anyway. in all likelihood, you
will pass under the radar, like a million other artists who have cut
up or copied some portion of another 'famous' artist's work.

but i am not a lawyer.

john cage's estate sued someone over putting some silence at the end
of a cd and calling it a track. so you see, no matter how open minded
or non-economic a given artist is, the estate is a different matter.
