Entirely our decision how we'd define this in the licence!

The GPL says "corresponding machine-readable source code". We could  
perhaps say something like "any commonly accepted format for data  
interchange", which for geodata might be shapefiles, .osm or even a  
CSV of lats and longs.

As ever, it's up to the licensor (us) to set the terms and the  
licensee (cartographer) to comply with them.
