Listing someone else's data does not give one the right to claim 
copyright. Even if you were the one who made the measurements and 
published the data it is unlikely that it would qualify as 
copyrightable as others have already done it and anyone can do it if 
they so desire.

I have databases of star data that I have used an application I 
created to store the data. While it may be possible for me to claim 
copyright of the database structure, I cannot claim copyright for the 
data.
