Hi Simon,
The issue is not with the licence. The current terms and conditions
require permission to add data not owned by the contributor.
As you point out though this data is upto 8 years old and in many cases
there is probably better or more current data available eg Tasmanian
Estate Reserve.
Cheers
Ross

The data in Mapconnect can be up to 8 years old. It originally came from both
CAPAD and the states/territories, and was generalised to be consistent with a
cartographic map at a scale of 1:250,000.
CAPAD has come from the states / territories, and probably from the national
park authorities rather than the mapping agency. There will be differences.
I would also be keen to hear what the limitations in the CCBY licence is. If
you want to use the data in Mapconnect then I can chase up an alternative
licence/permission to use if the current license doesn't work.
Thanks,
Simon
