   HOPE exists!  They are certainly not going to retain their lawyer for 
several additional days of GIS data license study.   The GIS guy in 
charge already said that his intent was to make the data freely 
available to Bing, Google, and other map consumers to promote economic 
development.

    Because the ArcGIS Hub makes license selection simple, I might be 
able to talk him into selecting a PDDL license which would be even 
better, and that will be OSM usable.
