OSM surely incorporates data in Virginia which was not prepared by
suitably licensed entities (per
https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title54.1/chapter4/section54.1-402/).
According to Virginia law, OSM must therefore display the following notice:
> Any determination of topography or contours, or any depiction of
> physical improvements, property lines or boundaries is for general
> information only and shall not be used for the design, modification,
> or construction of improvements to real property or for flood plain
> determination.
Is this notice already displayed somewhere? If not, where should it be
displayed?
(Note: I came across this while considering PWC GIS data for import;
