Ugh, I wish! New York State uses this weird "GIS Repository" thing. Data checks in and it never checks out. Members of the repository (nonprofit and municipal only -- all others stay home) agree to share data with other repository members. Consequently, all interesting uses are prohibited. Blah. What I've heard put forth as the rationale is that the people working in the state agencies don't want to have their work turned into a multi-million-dollar commercial product. As if they didn't get paid to produce it in the first place! -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com | Delegislation is a slippery Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | slope to prosperity. 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-323-1241 | Fewer laws, more freedom.
