Holy Blood, Holy Crap!

Apparently there's a trial in London pitting the "historians" Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh against the "novelist" Dan Brown. These "historians" allege that Dan Brown "stole" parts of the "story" from their non-fiction "book" Holy Blood, Holy Grail. Now, I might be "wrong" about this, but I always thought that if yours was a work of "history," then you didn't really have any claims over "historical fiction" that may be written based on your "work." You can't both claim that you have written a work of "non-fiction" and demand the protections of "fictional" writing's plagiarism rubric.
