Re: MaintainerDatabase Copyright



What ever you come up with you will have to think about the position of
the person collating the data.  I have had to do some editing of approx
one third of the entries, fixing such things as:

*  transposing lat/long
*  converting coordinates given in minutes and seconds
*  gpl box ticked, city given, but no coordinates - I have found the city
    on the map and supplied the figures.  The numbers will presumably be
    for the heart of the city.
*  one reply had an extra box "[X] public domain"

This means that I have modified the data.  If I am not allowed to modify
the data then getting it right is going to be a very long, drawn-out
process.

The problem (protecting the collator) can best be solved by feedback.
Anyone not happy with his/her entry can have it changed.
