Hi Stefan

What are you waiting, go for it! When I can help to keep the monster 
small, I will try to do it. From my experience building scenery I would 
say ... building Western Finland in a good matter will take approximate 
six months when you’re fast (while making the monster small will take 
two or three days).

Where have you been looking for? I can provide you some GPL compliant 
data when it is necessary. Just send me a note or ask at the forum.

I think no one is going to blackmail anyone recently. I’ve never seen 
censorship here before and I don’t like such approaches at all. But of 
course, like the GPL discussion shows, this project follows some rules. 
In my personal view it is not stupid and ridiculous to HELP new 
developers to follow this rules.

Cheers, Yves
