I'm sure they won't, and I think Stan Ryckman's right that this is
about trademark, not copyright.

The reason I raised it was to question the assertion that anything
finally stated is copyright: I heard someone from the Columbia Law
Library talking about copyright law at a conference last fall, and the
gist of what he said was that we all tend to drastically overestimate
what can be, or is, copyright.
