More exactly: I agree, because I consider that to be just the fair use
we have always had with books and the copyright laws of the
pre-napster era.

Such rights must not disappear only because electronic indexing is
possible much faster than doing it with pen and paper.

I also think that the author of the index has the rights to keep it to
yourself, or distribute it with whatever license and policy he likes
(under the terms and with the limits I already mentioned above and in
previous posts)

In any case the right to index and parse is not the right to
redistribute or sell the original documents against the license it
came with.
