They are formatted into a chart that is significantly different from the one shown. My understanding of copyright is that the actual numbers that make up this chart cannot be copyrighted, and as such can be used in another work without getting written permission. Of course, I would acknowledge the source as a matter of courtesy. Is this an acceptable practice, or should I either get written permission or take that part relying on the chart out?
