Oh I didn't read it that way. If they own the copyright to the data
themselves that is a different story, but "...is happy to upload Parks
database of information." probably means the data is crown copyright and
we would need to ensure that the data is released to us under a free
license.

Either way it is great if we can get more people involved in OSM.
