Generally, we should not care of any and all "copyrights". If we need to use 
something defined in FTS-0001.016, we'd use it regardless of anything (while 
issuing separate FTSes may be desirable for different topics). However, the 
resulting FTS-0001.017 is very likely to contain only basic definitions and 
references to other documents.
