Appstore publishing and content rights?

I want to implement the idea of ​​creating an application for iPhone and iPad, which is a reference book (technical document) with search functions, bookmarks, explanations, etc., which helps to work with a large document.
For example, consider any document from the "Building Norms and Rules" series (popularly referred to simply as SNIP): ohranatruda.ru/ot_biblio/normativ/data_normativ/2/...
Who can most likely say about the publication of such an application and claims by Apple for my lack of copyright in the content.
Is the basis for publication that this is a regulatory document (consider a law), which was issued a long time ago and by such an organization (STATE COMMITTEE OF THE USSR COUNCIL OF MINISTERS FOR CONSTRUCTION
GOSSTROY USSR) has not existed for a long time?
Answers with examples from personal experience of publishing such applications are welcome.

If we are talking about the texts of laws and other regulatory legal acts, then Woit, yes, you are mistaken)
In accordance with paragraph 6 of Art. 1259 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, official documents of state bodies and local self-government bodies of municipalities, including laws, other regulations, court decisions, other materials of a legislative, administrative and judicial nature, official documents of international organizations, as well as their official translations.
Thus, if you, arudmin, use the text of any normative act in your application, then this, according to Russian law, will not be regarded as a violation of someone's copyright.
Another issue is that Apple, in its analysis of applications downloaded to its store, is guided by US law and California law. :)
Although I will say right away, there is the same position on this issue:
