A simple assertion that "this is PD" isn't good enough. Lots of people don't
have any understanding of IP in geodata, and will happily trace from Google
Maps then say "I declare the result to be CC-BY/PD/CC-BY-SA/entirely my
copyright/what-have-you". Pretty much the entire quantity of Wikipedia's
co-ordinate data is like this, for example.
We need some confidence as to the actual surveying method before being able
to take a PD declaration on trust.
Come on, this is non-sense. If someone accepted the CT and imports the
data, it should be enough.
