The devil is in the details of this sentence:
"Using information released by TREB in early July, he published a visualization of trends in Toronto's housing market."

Did he:

1 - Scrape pages from TREB all which indicated copyright

or

2 - TREB published a dataset with an Open Data license and he used this for his web site.

If #1, then he should not be surprised by this outcome.

Yes, I read what Teresa Scassa said. If this were true, we wouldn't need Open Data licenses...
