But at the same time, a collection can be copyrighted even if the 
constituent parts can't be by virtue of being PD or purely factual. So 
if, as an example, a proprietary development tool took PD example code 
and added a project file or makefile, they would have a defensible 
copyright applicable to the overall assemblage even if what they'd added 
wasn't marked.
