Nice, a legal question on a technical list? Are you going to ask
medical questions here next? :)
Seriously, if you have questions like this, and it matters to your
business, I strongly suggest you consult a lawyer who knows this type of
thing (i.e. copyright law). It differs in every country (and even is
different within some states in those countries), so you might get
different answers depending on where you care about the result of your
question.
Best of luck!
