it's great that you think that, but many lawyers think otherwise. in any case, they'll be just facts if someone strips the smoothness tags out. wouldn't you prefer to protect the *whole* database? i'm not saying this for your benefit, by the way. it seems pretty obvious you've made up your mind and aren't going to change it in the face of reasoned argument or factual counterpoint. cheers, matt _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
