[talk-au] Use of mapconnect data in OSM (Ross)

[Warren]

Thanks Ross
It seems to me that the human readable licence details imply permission 
but I will not reopen that argument.

 From what you say it can be done provided we get someone from 
Geosciences Australia to specifically state that it is OK.  Now we have 
to find the person that is willing to sign away.  This may be the tricky 
bit.

The Mapconnect data is incomplete and not that wonderful but it is 
better than what is in OSM at the moment, at least for WA.  How much 
effort do I put into this task?

Any other comments will be welcomed.
Warren
