No, no, no. They are indeed from the Institute Geographique Nationale, but not 
from Morocco. From France. See www.ign.fr and 
https://www.stanfords.co.uk/stock/africa-ign-11000000-topographic-maps-of-nw-africa/

The spanish "Instituto Geográfico Nacional" claims copyright over old topo 
maps (dating back to 1890 or so). I wouldn't be surprised if the french IGN 
would do the same.


I think you should ask the french IGN about the issue.


Cheers,
