Read 17 USC 103, retard Hyman. And think of derivative works based on
public domain material.

"The copyright in a compilation or derivative work extends only to the
material contributed by the author of such work, as distinguished from
the preexisting material employed in the work, and does not imply any
exclusive right in the preexisting material. The copyright in such work
is independent of, and does not affect or enlarge the scope, duration,
ownership, or subsistence of, any copyright protection in the
preexisting material."

Hth.
