I think exclusive was added recently, but I can't be sure. Anyone else remember it?
Additionally you can't copyright facts.
From Feist v. Rural a collection of facts can only be copyrighted insomuch as they are creatively selected and arranged. Feist specifically states it doesn't matter how hard it was for them to collect the facts.
The selection isn't creative, because there is not selection, And the arrangement is only by geographic location and time--the only viable way to post such material, so not original or creative.
In addition Padmapper doesn't take the writing directly they just take out the relavent facts.
Again facts aren't copyrightable if you aren't copying a creative selection or arraignment.
I see this as no different than a T.V. guide publishing short blurbs about the episodes and order of a TV show.

That dates back to at least 2009. In February they reorganized it a bit (so now it's section 3a)
