Remember that facts are not copyrightable, but the manner in which those facts 
are presented may be. You may make lists of facts on a subject, then use your 
own words to write about them. That "fleshing out the skeleton" process is 
the intellectual property that you provide. A good writer can always find a 
different way to say something, but we are universally condemned when we find 
other ways of spelling. 8)
