I tried getting some acknowledgement from New York State GIS that their
data was not copyrighted or not copyrightable back when I imported the
NYSDEC lands shapefile. The most I could get out of them was that they
don't claim a copyright. I had saved that email thread on my Cloudmade
laptop. After I got laid off and had to send the laptop back, I didn't
think to save that email.
As you say, it's just a listing of facts about the world. At most the
presentation of them is copyrightable, but as Skyler noted, he's
changing the presentation.
No license needed for facts.
