Well, no myths but questions ore statements I was confronted with: -"what can I do with this data?" I think some people are not familiar with the freedom of free geodata. -"Quality has to cost something" Some people don't want to talk with you, if you mention datasets are free. But that're probably these ones who never heard about FOSS -"What benefits do I have if I contribute?" Even if they are using FOSS they still ask what the get back if the share documentation, patches etc. ...just a few thoughts Lars _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
