A question - are quizes like this copyright? Would anybody get upset if (a
theoretical if) the same quiz was used to raise money for another
charity...for example?

Thanks

I don't think they carry copyright, as most questions have probably been
asked somewhere before. As for doing it somewhere else? No-body would
now - would they? o;)
