Let A1​,…,Am​ be random subsets of a common ground set. If every pairwise union Ai​∪Aj​ takes values in a fixed family A of sets of cardinality at most k, then Shearer's inequality and the fact that a pair of bits with prescribed OR has at most three possibilities give
(m−1)H(A1​,…,Am​)≤∑i<j​(log∣A∣+klog3).
