OS 101 module 3 welcome - dealing with the fact that raw data (facts) isn't copyrightable

[danielskatz]

I feel that the terms are not quite right in terms of the fact that data itself isn't subject to copyright.

Copyright here says "Many different types of works are covered by copyright law including data products" which is correct, but perhaps should include something like "Note: raw data (facts) is not covered by copyright law."

The next item, "Data" includes "observable facts", which would not be subject to copyright.

There is no term "data products" though it is mentioned in the Copyright term.

The Data License definition also misses the fact that raw data doesn't need a license, as it's not not subject to copyright to start with.
