Myself, I fail to understand how the authors of HB, HG can claim a copyright on what they state is historical information. Not that it really is, but how can you copyright history?

This is why I figure this is some sort of nuisance or publicity suit - data is data regardless of accuracy or lack thereof and not copyrightable. This is why mapmakers sometimes add tiny nonexistant streets to a page so that if someone steals the image they can prove where it came from. They may delete them too - I recall one year a local two-block street did not show up in the Thomas Guide. Which proved rather a nuisance since I was looking for an elementary school therein. Fortunately I found it anyway.

Could be they never meant it to get this far, but their target refused to settle.
