I am not an expert on copyrights, but I can tell you this from my experience academic publishing: if you produce notes based on another work, you can publish them as long as it is for educational purposes.

Your notes may discuss ideas presented in the original work, but they must be expressed on your own words; remember that copyrights and intellectual property rights protect concrete objects or systems, not ideas.

Also, if you decide quote directly from the original work, use "" and make a direct reference to the original work (for example, pp. x in Y). Try to limit the number of such quotes to avoid problems.

Hope it helps,
Pat
