If they are tables of values like log tables, then the actual numbers won't be copyright?
Or can I copyright PI?

Subject: FW: Statistics/ mathematics OER.- critical values
Hi all,
I've got a colleague who is writing an open access statistics books for humanities students and has asked for help on a copyright enquiry. Can anyone help? This is his request:
"I want to include tables of critical values in the book. These are widely available online, in statistics books and specialists books with table, but usually appear with copyright notices on them, (but mostly copyrighted to the website owner/ book author). I haven't managed to find any available as OERs or under a CC licence online. I'm finding all this a bit confusing, as you need the critical values tables to be able to do statistical tests. Is there some sort of 'fair use' I could claim?"
Many thanks!
Kate
