The issue is like this: CC-BY 3.0 is considered Category B which can be included in binary (unmodified) form.[1] Including the paths of the SVG in MapCoords is a questionable use of Category B and we would need approval from legal to use it like that.
We have three options: 1. We can ask legal if it’s OK. 2. We can pull the example from the Apache repo and put it somewhere else. 3. We can switch to a public domain svg such as the one Alex linked to.
