   Hi,
   
   I've read today that upstream has taken down the source because
   of a law suite against them.  From what I understand they have
   based some of their historic information on the ACS American
   Atlas.  Upstream believes that all information is in the public
   domain.
   
  What do you think filing this bug achieves?
 
 I'm just trying to make you aware of the issue.  Do with it as you
 see fit.
 

Being subscribed to the upstream mailing list, we got a lot more details
than what has been published on various websites.

Hi,

I've read today that upstream has taken down the source because
of a law suite against them.  From what I understand they have
based some of their historic information on the ACS American
Atlas.  Upstream believes that all information is in the public
domain.
