I know you think this is hypothetical but it's a very real problem. In NL we got the AND data and in the next year or two we will get access to the NWB, which is the map compiled by the govt. It's not clear at all that one is going to be better than the other and merging them is going to be a real problem. It's fortunate that neither ask for attribution or we'd have a serious problem on our hands.
