Are we sure that this license is not acceptable?  I just looked at the
license for the Stats Can NRN (national road network) and it appears to be
identical to the one for the Census Boundaries.

If it really is the case that this license is not agreeable, then we have
been using the Stats Can NRN data improperly.
