It would seem to be more helpful if people posting map data would either not copyright it. If someone insists on copyrighting his map data (why? e-mail & I'll post summary if any) they should at least give some sort of permission to use the data. As it is, the only thing I can do with three froggish map files totalling approx 50K is to remove them. I most particularly may not legally use the data when I compile the maps using "pathalias".
