Can I be the first geo-pirate? Arrghhhh me harties! Seriously though, where are the geopirates? I'm sure they're out there funding terrorism so there must be studies about the amount they are losing the geodata sector? Low scale stuff happens with UK postcodes I know, and lots of people infringe the google maps license every day. have fun, SteveC [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.asklater.com/steve/ _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
