Excellent!  I'm able to read this.  It's not *quite* in alignment, but it's
close enough that I can conflate it easily on a case by case basis.  But,
looking at
http://www.ou.edu/content/publicaffairs/webpolicies/termsofuse.html, I'm
wondering if this is even a dataset that we can use, or if it's just
typical boilerplate that is nullified by the Open Records Act.

I have received word back from Todd Fagin at the University of Oklahoma and
he says that yes, the data is in the public domain, though he would like
attribution on our contributors page (NBD, already done at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#Oklahoma).  I'm not fully
ready to do a full import on it, though this does open me up to being able
to use this as part of the Wild Nights mapping project to get that ready
for our conbook as a test case around the Robber's Cave Wildlife Area and
Robber's Cave State Resort.

The section under copyright (below) seems to exclude use by OSM. It does
seem to be generic boilerplate to the site so they may give permission to
use the boundaries in OSM. I would recommend contacting them for permission.

I’m pleased this has worked out, and I’m looking forward to seeing the results 
down the road.
