Does that matter, though? You're referring to an agreement made in
the past. CanVec data are now provided under the OGL-CA licence,
which has a very similar attribution clause to the OGL-UK licence
(please compare 'em if you're not sure). The OGL licence (imperfect
as it is) has been deemed to be compatible with OSM's licence.<br>

The tags don't matter; attribution is in the <b>© OpenStreetMap
Contributors</b> link. Aren't we supposed to remove the NRCan tags
if we modify data on the ground, or add in our own additional data?<br>
