Thanks Martin, I will double check the licence attached to the data I have, but I'm confident it is free to use and distribute so long as any subsequent end-use is of personal or private non-profit nature.
Cheers, Chris Wilkinson, YBBN/BNE. ________________________________ From: Martin Spott <martin.sp...@mgras.net> To: flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Fri, 10 December, 2010 5:09:36 PM Subject: Re: [Flightgear-devel] Airport Water Clipping Chris - and whoever is having custom land cover data on their hard disks, Chris Wilkinson wrote: > If better data is available to build more accurate scenery then I think by > all > means we should use it.

John has already done some fantastic improvements to our land cover collection - like in this area: http://mapserver.flightgear.org/map/?lon=-72.7&lat=42.4&zoom=10&layers=B000000FFFFFFFFFTFFFF .... and he's pretty familiar with the requirements. As a general hint I'd say: Please be careful wrt. the license. As an example, don't blindly copy features from OpenStreetMap - their license and ours are somewhat (still) irreconcilable.
