As you pointed out, they're giving out a copy of the *data* from the
program. That data could well come with a different copyright than the
one that applies to the program, so while I may have the right to use
it in the program, I may not have the right to hand it out over the
internet. The mutliple copyrights comes from thinking about songs,
which has seperate copyrights for the lyrics, the tune, and the
arrangement.
