Oh yes there is! The copyright *explicitly* *forbids* ANY use of the
map data unless written permission is obtained. 

You argue that nobody should ignore AT&T's copyright on UNIX, and then
go on to say that we should also ignore the map copyright, but only
in situations that you approve of. This is patently absurd.

To comply with your copyright, I have made a modification to our map
processing scripts. They no longer process any of the maps for France
during pathalias runs.

I would have emailed this reply, however my mailer doesn't seem to 
be able to route to your site ...

        If everyone quit smoking, drinking, and buying gas,
               the nation would probably go bankrupt.
