I would wager that trying to re-create it would be far from trivial.
Similar issues have come up before (rec.humor.funny, comp.compilers,
etc) but they've been worked out, too. The actual information itself
isn't copyrighted; rather, the way it's presented, stored, and
accessed is covered (similar to a compilation copyright on a CD full
of periodicals).
