[HOT] Fwd: [OpenStreetMap] Student Survey Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team Goethe-University Frankfurt

[Blake Girardot]

Hi Katja,

I am investigating this further, to my knowledge HOT has not given this 
University nor any one else permission to use our systems and data for 
anything other than HOT mapping.

Random contacts from people and organizations you do not know should 
always be treated with great caution and I would suggest avoiding 
following links that are sent to you if you have no previous engagement 
with or knowledge of the senders.

Cheers,
Blake
