But I thought that the last time this was discussed, it was determined
that, because AIS is the official international iris registry, that all
registration data is in the public domain. Wasn't it determined that the
*only* aspect covered by copyright is the format and presentation of the
information, NOT the information itself? How does this impact the
concept and creation of "derivative works"? How are "derivative works"
defined if the registration data itself truly is in the public domain?
