Yes, it is good of the Australian government to allow use of their data as a source for OSM. Thank you, Australian government. There is still the issue of import accounts continuing to decline, even though the data is unencumbered. I couldn't possibly comment on why a particular user might continue to decline CT/ODbL with their import account for a particular data set, when that dataset is suitable and permitted for inclusion under CT/ODbL. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
