I asked about GeoScience data before at http://groups.google.com/group/osm-fork/browse_thread/thread/e84462983e704535/c8144256f77836f2 Is that one you have the "geoMAP 250K DVD-ROM" or "NATMAP Digital Maps 250K 2008 (formerly NATMAP Raster)."? If it is then according to http://ga.gov.au/topographic-mapping/digital-topographic-maps/using-attributing-products.html they are CC-BY 3.0. I would very much like a copy, let me know if you are happy to redistribute it, I can help out if you need. The problem with other datasets eg. ones listed in https://www.ga.gov.au/products/servlet/controller?event=DEFINE_PRODUCTS are that although the bottom says CC-BY, it also says "otherwise noted", and directly above there is an "otherwise noted" which points to http://www.osdm.gov.au/OSDM/Policies+and+Guidelines/Spatial+Data+Access+and+Pricing/default.aspx which is not CC-BY compatible. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
