For a number of other data sets explicitly said they were unable to
grant permission for non-commercial use. Since some of the data was
coming from government agencies, it's possible the non-commercial
requirements for those datasets are set down in law.
- AFAIK I'm the last person that managed to get hold of the GADM people
and I don't see anybody volunteering to try again
About a year later I tried to get into contact with anyone involved in
GADM and couldn't get a reply.
