Here are two scenarios that I need you help with:

1. We are building content for an open module. Can we paraphrase and cite copyrighted material, such as studies?

2. Online videos have been created with some ideas based on a book, which is referenced in the videos. Can we cc license these videos?

My take is that copyrighted work is constantly cited in journal articles and other matter and then that new material is copyrighted to the new author or journal or whatever, so the above scenarios should be acceptable as long as the materials are not directly copied.

Thanks for any advice you can provide!
