To enforce the displaying of such a disclaimer, you would have to force the use of a particular software. You couldn't use open formats for which anybody can write free software, without your approval. And thus you *are not* sharing the data, so that excuse is not lifted. This is what happens today when some public offices think it is enougth to publish a ".doc" MS Word document. The moral requirement on such offices is to publish using open formats that can be used by anybody. -- Lars Aronsson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
