I think you mix two things : the physical trails, paths which are not
copyrighted and not discussed here. And the
On what basis do they claim ownership of the routes, exactly? As I
understand it, many of these routes link up lots of little trails that
had been around for decades. How did copyright get transferred from
the people who created the trails to the FFRP? Or do they claim
ownership only over new sect

This point has been long discussed on our local list. What you see on
the ground is the trail markers. One problem is that the markers are

Hi all,

long hiking routes called "GR" or "GRP" or &quo
Hi all,
I'm submitting here a question about the legality of keeping French
long hiking routes called "GR" or "GRP" or "PR" in OSM. All these
routes are very well known, have sign posts and references on the
ground, e.g. the "GR20" in Corsica (but many are still missing or very
incomplete in OSM)
