Subject: GISList: vmap copyright
Date:  02/13/2002 07:37:17 AM
From:  Benoit =?iso-8859-1?Q?V=E9ler?=



Hello,

I am making a project with some vmap0 data, and I'm begining to have quite
a doubt : are these data really free of copyright ?
I have downloaded the file V0eur at the adress :

http://geoengine.nima.mil/ftpdir/archive/vpf_data/

I have made two type of operations on this data :

* extraction of specific areas (covering several countries),
* modification of both vector and attributes files.

From that point, I used to consider that these database could be
considered as my own one, and I planned to resell it an a web site.
But when I read the two sources here :

http://intevation.de/pipermail/freegis-list/2001-January/000232.html

and

http://www.maproom.psu.edu/dcw/faq/ques1.html

I am really doubting... Can anybody give me his opinion on this pb, or do
you know a place where I could have the information for sure ?...

Best regards,

Ben.
