Thanks! I found in the list the IGM - Istituto Geografico Militare (the Italian organization with the official mandate of the management of cartography in Italy). This sounds bad: IGM doesn't have a open data policy. By navigate the geoportals of some italian regions it's possibile find a dataset with the list of the places in Italy made and owned by IGM. In Italy we have the principle "open by default" ( = a dataset publishend on a website of an italian public administration without a license is open data), but, in my point of view, if you find a dataset created and owned by another organization ( eg. IGM), you can't assume this situation. If you navigate the IGM website, you can't find an open data section or dataset with an open license. I prefer to believe that this is a naive mistake _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
