Dear Simon,
 
Evidently, anyone who develops a taxonomy claims that it is copyrighted.
I have just want to open the discussion to the international legal context rather than the US legal system.
 
All the best,

 WIPO (The World Intellectual Property Organization) beliees that it's has copyright in the International  Patent Classification  system (IPC), even though it makes it available free of charge -

No, you can download the IPC files, but you have to acknowledge WIPO's copyright if you plan a commercial use of the IPC on your site.

Do you know what is the legal status of taxonomies in other legal systems?
