The attribution question is still being dealt with by LWG's legal
council. I don't see there being an issue.

As has been said before and recorded in the LWG minutes, the LWG will
of course look at these situations individually and also help
re-negotiate existing imports where needed.

John Smith as you are aware, the LWG is still in discussion with NearMap.

 Grant
