He claims that they are N2000 maps from Norge Digitalt and that he has
access to these maps as a partner of Norge Digitalt.

My employer is a Norge Digitalt partner, and I have access to these maps at
work. They are *only* for internal use and is not to be used for
redistribution. I am not sure of exactly when usage stops being internal (we
often print Norge Digitalt maps to give as documentation to our suppliers,
for instance), but I am pretty sure this is usage is not within the license.

Gustav

This is not open content. The content is apparently avilable for
parties that are members of Norge Digtalt
(http://www.statkart.no/Norge_digitalt/Norsk/Om_Norge_digitalt/) which
have a license. I can't find the license, so you will have to contact
the user to get the wording. I may help with translation.

Statkart (The norwegian cartographic survey) do not normally issue
open licenses. It may appear from the wording in the referenced talk
page, that the user think he/she is entiteled to do this since he/she
has a license. Without the license, I can't possibly say if this is
correct, but I doubt it.

My initial reaction is NO to both questions. But, to be sure, I have
forwarded your mail to the Norwegian community (k...@nuug.no) to try
to get a definitive and correct answer.

Can someone who speaks Norwegian and is familiar with the map data 
copyright situation in Norway please take a look at this user talk 
page, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jensens#Kart

as well as the uploaded maps by this user,
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Jensens

These maps are now finding their way into the Norwegian Wikipedia,
