It is only "public domain" (US usage) if the creators have disclaimed all copyright in it, or if it's not eligible for copyright protection. I'm not aware of the Adventure Cycling Association doing the former, or any US case law for the latter. (But my knowledge of US case law is very imperfect, so if you could point to either, that'd be helpful!) "It's on lots of websites" does not mean something is free of copyright. There are plenty of places where you can download cracked versions of Adobe Photoshop but I'm pretty sure that's still copyrighted. :) Richard -- Sent from: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/Tagging-f5258744.html _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
