For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I don't think copyright wording is usually copyrighted. I don't think the
people who secure a copyright are looking to protect the language in the
front of the book that says they're protected by a copyright.
This being so, with regard to lifting someone else's copyright text, I'd
say: Go for it. I bet that's what they did.
