My (probably incorrect) understanding was that implicit copyright only
applies to anything that can be considered artistic - eg. code that's
been written, or creative text or images, but not for example, simple
lists of names.

Similar to those arguments about header files that describe standards
compliant APIs being non-copyrightable, because they are non-artistic,
statements of fact.

But, I'm probably wrong - I'm not a lawyer, nor am I part of our web
team. I'm just the guy that takes all the flak.
