It would not, as Garmin can DRM the maps, modify them (which can include removing or swapping information as well as adding it) and prevent them being fixed and redistributed.

Not in this scenario. - Rob. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
