Here you got the point, the persons who are involved have to agree. As it would be with a fotograph of yours taken by someone if he'S going to publish it.
And I think it shouldn't be that hard to ask for someones permission.
Yes, you can read everything, even make a book out of it, if it's your own brain who melted the facts together, but always you will need to mark cites and to name the sources.

Have a nice day
All decision is left to your taste
