Is the morphology data actually eligible for copyright? #6

As far as I know, it would not be, as facts cannot be copyrighted, and this seems like it would qualify. But I am not a lawyer, so I could be wrong. But of course, this is not a problem, I just thought it would be worth mentioning.

I am also not a lawyer, but I understand that collections of information are eligible for copyright.

The copyleft ideas are good -- this one caused me much pain and research about compatibility with other copyleft licenses.

Come to think of it, I think I've heard that. I'll close the issue, since it really makes no difference anyway.
