There is some line about the amount of information that can be copied, but I think that is like 16 A4 pages of writing before you need permission or something like that. Better if you define what the rules are, some maybe okay, while other may be breaking. This kind of thing cannot be left up to your personal judgement unless you know the exact rules. I have seen writings legally given credit to the author but they still do not want things published, and when they take these people to court the writer usually loses. Newspapers do this all the time.
