Well since the tools aren't really up to the job of building scenery without flaws yet it's not really an issue. The license is likely to be changing in the near future anyway, so it's pointless worrying about this sort of thing until the new license is available anyway, and having spoken to Steve Coast about FlightGear he thought the resulting scenery was pretty cool, and it's not the sort of thing he'd want to prevent - FlightGear is actually the first entry on the "Neat Stuff" page on the OSM wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Neat_Stuff Jon (Who has mapped most of Wakefield) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
