I think ordinary, internationally recognised copyright applies to "artistic" works, which a word list isn't. However, some countries also have a different kind of copyright that applies to databases and such. I suppose a word list would be covered by that kind of copyright, as would a list of the coordinates of the brightest stars, for example. Edmund
