If Sanborn was just a contractor hired by the govmt agency to help with
digitizing, data conversion, etc. there should be no copyright issues
with them. I didn't see a reference to Sanborn in the parcel metadata.

Is this something that should even be added to the spreadsheet? It
looks like all their data is from Sanborn, so the older data should be
out of copyright by now, if it can be found elsewhere.

That was exactly my reaction as well. My understanding is that
these data are essentially in the public domain. I'll note it in
the spreadsheet.

Local governments may claim copyright, but whether they can
legally is another matter. A very quick review of Virginia
state law appears to show they have liberal open records laws.

We should probably track these public records problems, e.g.
counties and cities that claim copyright, etc but the state
law says otherwise.
