Regarding Mikio's reply at the end where it says that "works containing
no original authorship" are not copyrightable, you have to be careful.
Certainly indexes, bibliographies, etc., whether compiled from non-coyrighted
or copyrighted material are protected.  It is recognized that the sometimes
massive effort that goes into such works needs protection.  An extreme
example might be the OED (Oxford Engligh Dictionary) which consists, to
a great extent, of copied examples of usage.
