Anybody can "claim" anything.  That does not make it so.  The 
information is not copyright.  Only the way of expressing it is 
copyright.  Thus if someone uses all the information from a copyright 
source, but tells it in his own way that work may be derived from the 
original but it is not legally a derivative work.  Rewriting the 
material would be more appropriate.
