Hi Vivian No, I am not over-doing this one I think. The charts are "republished" this way, and charts could not be "transformed" to a GPL source by a personal-referencing-and-copyright-project by Syd. I am referencing the copyright and restriction of NAV CANADA (in case!), and his statement about using (unknown) wms sources for scenery projects ...
