Anybody can verify that the data is accurate by checking it against the original. Next objection? No, seriously, I *do* use the governmental data that Frederick and apparently Ian is objecting to, and I use it by loading it out of OSM. This is not a new discussion, and we didn't come to a conclusion satisfactory to all parties the last N times we had it. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
