Thanks. Maybe a word like "disputed" could be used? I'm very wary of
"illegal" because it's very black and white, and it could be quite
hard to verify the exact legal status. The locals might insist it's
legitimate.

Perhaps an even more indirect way could be "owner=unknown" or
something. It would depend a bit on the motivations of the mapper.
