Not on the map per se, but if you use the map to re-create the original 
database then - at least that's what I was thinking! - you are not using 
your own database but you are (again) using the database compiled by the 
original owner, so you need his permission to use it. This is - I 
thought - absolutely independent of the channel through which you 
received the original database.
