This argument is, to put it bluntly, silly. In Common Law countries, this is a difference without a distinction. An contract to break the law is void as a matter of public policy. There is no enforceable difference between a license 'for any lawful purpose' and a license 'for any purpose whatsoever,' because the licensor cannot grant permission to break the law. _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
