A quick note, do not confuse public records as always meaning public domain. Some states may not have laws specifically preventing agencies from claiming copyright, not apply to all levels of government, or have exceptions to which works. IE. I think it was Michigan that specifically copyrights it's gis data. Some "offical" state clearinghouses may claim copyright on what should be public domain from the various agencies.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potential_Datasources#U.S. is the best compilation of sources and notes about them I know of for our use. I would suggest to update it with any information you come up with. -- Dale Puch On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 6:58 PM, Paul Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: > On 03/22/2011 01:13 AM, Andrew Cleveland wrote: > > > Thanks.
