That's been suggested by someone on one of the lists I'm on (I lose track) and it could work, but the PAF is very volatile so it would be quite wrong, not just a bit wrong (I suspect) and it might be quite a lot of work to make it useful. Just as really old ordnance survey maps (well older than me) are becoming out of copyright and can be used. -- Francis Davey _______________________________________________ Mailing list [email protected] Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public
