they retain all rights (and make royalties on), and "B" creates
a derivative work which substantially duplicates the work of
"A" without the permission of "A", then "B" has breached
the copyright of "A".
It doesn not matter if "B" profits from the work, the important
test is: did "A" lose any profit?
Say, someone extracted all of the statistic info from SSC, and
published that (as a data file or in a program) then freely
distributed it. There would be no real need to buy the SSC
unless you like the pictures), and FASA would lose 1 or more
sales.
