This could impact PHP as well since it bundles the database.
I suppose the next question has to be one of what source was used by 'The
American Atlas' to put the information in that document? Presumably the
proceedings of the US government?
As an aside, is there anything to prevent a copy of the database which simply
removes the identified historic data until the American lawyers have milked it
for all it's worth?
The key phrase from the database is obviously
'# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below.'
I have been unable to find anything on Eggert's links page that references the
ACS Atlas in the manor claimed? It is just a links page to everybody elses data?
So shouldn't the complaint actually IDENTIFY the data they are claiming is
copied? What historic data international data is included in the ACS Atlas?
Of cause it would be nice if Olson had an historic email from ACS Publishing ;)
A very informative link that poped up
http://www.astrology-x-files.com/terranatlas.html
That would seem to be another 'derived work' but the historic notes make
interesting reading.
