This article seems to be a direct copy and paste from NIH's information to Health Professionals...— Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.155.82.146 (talk)

Copyvio? Or not

edit

The page seems to be copied from the NIH (National Institute of Health) website. The NIH is part of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), which in turn is a part of the United States Federal Government. Then, according to what I see on Work of the United States Government, it would seem that the work in question is not protected by copyright in the United States so copyvio would not be a problem.

As far as I know, NIH info is in the public domain, but medication fact sheets in MedlinePlus are marked "Copyright © 2006 Thomson Healthcare. All rights reserved." at the bottom of the page. Either way, I've started rewriting the article to remove any "offending" information. Fvasconcellos 14:08, 29 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
