I don't know what the common policy is for Ezines.  I think you have a 
lot of people doing things differently online.  I don't think there is 
any problem with analizing data from another publication or service, 
writing an interpretation of the data, and linking to the source.  But I 
do believe a company has a copyright on their statistical data so you 
probably have to ask to reuse it.  I believe government information and 
statistical data is another story.  I believe you can republish that.  
Maybe someone else knows more.
