There is a simple solution to determining whether or not a particular section of interest is open content or not. Contact the publisher or author directly with specific questions regarding what you want, exactly why you want it, how you plan to use it, and whether you can get permission to use it in that specific context if it's not Open Content. I have yet to find a company who isn't willing to answer a polite inquiry as long as you're patient and very thorough with your request.
