Re: [Talk-ca] Importing MLI park boundaries

The other information of note is that Sam did not remove his release to PD until Febuary 2011.[1] My interpretation would be that any changeset uploaded by him in this time is released into the public domain. Therefore, it'd be acceptable to re-import any of his changesets as they are public domai
