He didn't, he only said it was possible. :-) I'm told that in some countries you need a license to produce maps, and that this is a hangover from not wanting East Germany to know where your railways and switching stations are. It raises questions about the liability of maps. Surely someone has taken a map maker to court over bad data somewhere? I've spent a fair amount of time dealing with copyright-related Ts&Cs of maps but not paid attention to disclaimers. It's something openstreetmap needs to think heavily about, but perhaps there is a 'not fit for any purpose at all' type clause in the CC license we use. have fun, SteveC [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.asklater.com/steve/ _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
