Richard, can you explain how section 4 of the Geogratis license [1] works
with respect to the CTs please?

My understanding is that 4.3 requires the Licensee to indemnify Canada
against damages etc?  Is this compatible with section 6.2 of the Contributor
Terms?  If I understand it right 6.2 excludes any liability.  Isn't this
contrary to Geogratis's stipulation in 4.3?

Can you explain please?
