A very good question, but what exactly does the word copyright mean. In the statement below I have just extracted the part of the meaning that is applicable to writers. This is copied from the Wikipedia website but I have not broken copyright rules as I have inserted the source of the statement.
'Copyright does not cover ideas and information themselves, only the form or manner in which they are expressed'. (Source: Wikipedia)
So my interpretation of this is you can take someones ideas and rewrite them in your own words. Don't believe me? How many ways do you think murder can be committed? Certainly not enough ways for all the murder mystery books there are on the bookshelves.
So what does that mean for you? It means you can take any information from any website and rewrite it in your own words and publish it without any fear of breaking copyright rules.
You will of course have to be very careful with your rewrite of the copyright material to ensure you still get the correct meaning of what you are trying to say across to your readers.
I wish you every success with your SFI business
