This is precisely the case with West Publishing and various and sundry
law books.
Where West has a hook (aside from having good search engines and cross
referencing) is that citations in cases and pleadings, etc., use the
West system for page/line and so forth. The codes are perfectly free
to copy, but if you don't arrange exactly as West does, then the cites
don't match up.
