But how can one have a copyright on a description like:

1: GND
2: CLK
3: Vcc
4: PORTD

In this case it is obvious that one uses this pinout description so they
can't say anything against this. Of course this may not be the same for very
complex PICs but I think it should be OK to use for normal not too special
parts.
