Basically everything created by a public entity is public domain, but copyrighted things can be used by the entity. For instance, many cities adopt buidling codes written by private companies that are copyrighted and must be purchased from the company.

If the quote is in the public domain, it is ok.\nIf it has been restricted, or copywritten, then you need permission.

There should be. Search the city (name you are looking for) + courthouse (the word). Most likely it will be a .gov page, but not all the time. If it is in the US, email me and I can find it for you...I work at an attorney's office as a paralegal, I have a complete listing.

Probably not in public use.  If you put your phrase in google, especially within quote marks, it will usually come up with something if it has been written about, and google will even suggest slightly different spellings.  You could try that with closer spellings than you used here, if any.  Good luck.

Chances are that the content is copyright by the original creator.  When this happens, they can ask you to take it off, and you must do so, or if there is significant damages, they can sue you.  If it is less than 10% of their site and is for educational purposes, then you can legally copy the info if it is not patented.

In general you typically use something along the lines of:\n\nLastname, Firstname. "Article Title." Site Name. Article date.\nOrganization Name. Date of access <URL>.\n\nThis will vary depending on what info is availible and the exact type of web-page.

That is proprietary information. It is not released to the public.

no necessarily, people on yahoo copy info from other websites all the time, sometims it's direct copy and paste, other times it's reworded, certain text ( like the content of the church of scientology are copyrighted and are not allowed to be posted period , even though if you really hunt it down you can find it ) are prohibited if it's copyrighted text, but genrally posted messages can be copied from one forum to another, rules against spamming , mlm, chain letter are common to all websites that have forums, all of them prohibit that, the discalimer ofr copyrighted text is to protect the website owner more than anyone else

Goto official City website.  Goto "Ordinance" or use that term in search.  Usually under City Judicial or legal section. They are ALL public information.

Umm... The web isn't public domain. Just because it's openly accessible doesn't mean there's no copyright on it - you wouldn't expect to be able to republish a book you took out of the library under your own name and get away with it, would you?\n\nIt's perfectly reasonable for somebody to want their site to have a unique look. Also, if somebody's worked hard for hours and hours on their site, some loser spending 5 minutes with wget to rip their work doesn't seem fair.\n\nThere is nothing wrong with looking at a page to see how something is done, and re-implementing the effect yourself... nobody should get stressed over a few lines of CSS here and there. In fact, if somebody was polite enough to e-mail me and ask me, I'd likely be very liberal in the permissions I granted, as long as they weren't taking the mick.\n\nHowever, if somebody annoyed me sufficiently, I would have no problem in taking the action needed to get their site pulled. Before now, I've had a site kicked off not one, but two ISPs after they spammed a forum I moderate.

I doubt it. Wikipedia is GPL'ed meaning if it was sold, someone could "fork it" - that is copy the contents, and then offer it under the same terms currently available- meaning free.
