Copyright protects the expression of ideas - not knowledge, or facts. I'll stop there and repeat a previous request for an actual copyright lawyer to provide us some advice on where the line is. IMHO we're more cautious than we need to be. Why do we consider what's written on a street sign to be a "fact", but the same words written on a map to be copyrightable? And many similar examples.
