Canada has a set of digital geodata available -- high resolution line graphs, DEMs, the works -- for only CAD 1,000,000 (about USD 650,000). Of course, if you want to redistribute any derived works, you have to talk to them about different pricing. For free, you can download some 30-arcsec DEMs and some free low-res geodata, roughly equivalent to what we already have world-wide in gtopo30 and vmap0. To the rest of the world, it seems backwards that the U.S. (home of software patents, the DMCA, and perpetual book copyright extensions) got something about intellectual property so right while the rest of us got it so wrong, but there you have it.
