[talk-au] Copyright questions

[David Murn]

One that amuses me often, is between Canberra and Batemans Bay.  Theres
a small rural street which is shown as 'Black Sally Lane' on both
google, whereis and my Navman GPS, however OSM shows the name printed on
the street sign, which is 'Black Sallee Lane'.
