Hello Tilman Thank you for your quick response. I have got these file from the department of geographical science of Arak University of Technology. I'm going to get the permission from this department which says they own the data. I don't think its gonna be a problem since almost every student has access to these data and they use it on their projects. I will follow the guideline and in case I didn't understand any part of it, i'll ask in the import mailing list.
