Given the extreme concern many people have about protecting the integrity of OSM data, why not just get a brief email from Riley County GIS stating just that? If there's no explicit statement clarifying this on the web, an email from a county official would be better safe than sorry, no? On Thu,

To be clear, you do *not* have a license for this data but are relying on fair use and your opinion of what is copyrighted? Also, are you relying on the fact that others haven’t gotten into trouble as support for this import being legally okay? From: Mike Dupont
