If a screenshot is used in Publication X, it may be fair use, but if
Publication X is relicensed as a whole, the use of the screenshot may
not necessarily be fair use anymore. Remember, the screenshot doesn't
get the licence of the publication in which it is used simply because
its use is fair use in *that* publication.
This is why the Wikipedia prefers screenshots that are relicensed as
FDL. A screenshot in the Wikipedia can only be used in the Wikipedia,
and if content from the Wikipedia is reused in terms of the FDL, the
publisher of that release must determine for himself if the use of the
screenshots are still fair use or not.
