[talk-au] Qld topo map usable?

[Andrew Harvey]

Unfortunately not. CC BY 4.0 data isn't compatible with the OSM license,
see https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2017/03/17/use-of-cc-by-data/ for more
details.

There is a waiver form at that link which the copyright holder needs to
agree and sign for CC BY 4.0 data to be used in OSM.

Some Australian agencies have agreed to this, and others have explicitly
not agreed to this, so it's hit and miss based on the agency.
