>1. Is it clear that a "map tile" is an "image" within the definition of a
"Produced Work"--a work (such as an >image...) resulting from using the
whole or a Substantial part of the Contents....?If not, what is the most
>typical example of a Produced Work in the map context?

Consider a "produced work" of something that cannot be reproduced because
disassembling is not possible. Take a "cake" for example (kitchen wise, just
for understanding the concept). You cannot produce a another cake from the
first cake or alter it because you cannot disassemble it to the original
ingredients since the ingredients have been transformed in a chemical
process. The cake would be a Produced Work.

If you take a car it can always be disassembled to its individual pieces and
be rebuild. The car would not be a Produced Work.

Also consider the intention behind the concept: The idea is that if someone
improves the original source then this improvement should go back to the
community. This means if you improve one of the "ingredients" then this
improvement should become part of the community. Any Produced Work will not
benefit the community (for the next Derived or Produced Work) and therefore
does not need to go back to the community.

Oliver
