Stéphane,

It seems clear you take a distinctly different view to this than I do.

To me it is important to ensure clear and legitimate title to my free geodata
as well as software.  I'm not interested in involvement with data obtained
under questionable terms or on the basis that it might be hard to prove that
it was derived contrary to a legal agreement.

Best regards,
