Wow, Gene, maybe we need to consult a lawyer because that's a really strange way of looking at it - are not the results of independent research and their published expression the same as if I wrote the Great American Novel? - meaning, both would be MY copyrightable property?


The published expression (exact word-for-word text and the arrangement of text and images), yes. The facts---even the opinions, interpretations and conclusions---described in that published expression, no.

Not rocket science, just basic information available from the U.S. Copyright Office and many other places in books, articles, and on the Net.
