The thing which seems wrong to me is that what little copyright law I learned stipulated that copyright covers the text, not the idea. So if I wrote up a schedule but the info was in a different order, and the teams were all named by nickname rather than official name, it's definitely not the same text, even if it's the same information. But IANAL and I won't be putting my arse on the line to test this.
