Yes, I know of course that SPW copies, of course too, the boundary information from IGN. But, once again, the boundaries are not "the property of IGN". The boundaries were made by the Belgian Government (and even the French Government) and the owners are in fact the Belgian people who paid taxes for that. IGN received in 1831 the mission to publish the administrative boundaries and publishing is not being the owner. Should we seek a permission, we'd rather contact the Government than IGN. Should the persons who mapped our boundaries on OSM continue to be called pirates, there would only be one option: remove the Belgian boundaries and put them on a pirating.osm file to be restored in a few years when minds will have changed.
