IANAL, but there is very, very, very little reason to argue this view
from a copyright (and respective laws in other jurisdictions) point of
view, especially when just verifying that other sources including your
own knowledge/memory is correct like in this case.
Of course there are pitfalls and of course proprietary data should not
be used as _the_ direct source of information for an edit but that
statement goes way beyond that.
