[talk-au] Queensland QTopo license still not good for OSM?

[Graeme Fitzpatrick]

Hi Petr

We have been in further discussions with them re getting access to all Qld
Govt Open Data, but things have indeed bogged down again, partially at
least because of elections earlier this year.

Thanks for the reminder to chase them up again!

Enjoy your holiday when you get here!

Thanks

Graeme
