[OSM-talk-be] map copyrights?

[Mark Van den Borre]

Hi all,

While doing research for my letter to the provincial government of
East Flanders, I bumped into quite a but of information that seems to
suggest copyright on maps (and on street name databases) is mostly,
and sometimes only, limited by the general sui generis right on
databases.

I have probably missed something, but... If this proves correct, and
it applies to NGI maps, it means we can scan 1993 NGI/IGN maps and
trace them.

I wonder who can shed more light on this issue.
