They have asked the people behind the GR, while they should have
consulted a specialised lawyer.
I am not a lawyer, but... as long as we stay with recording facts, I
see no copyright problems. I will consult with a specialised lawyer
and report back.
The French forum post speaks of a GR trademark. We probably need a
license from the organisation(s) behind the GR trademark to be able to
label these routes GR in OSM.
