[Talk-ca] User r_coastlines

Yes because it is the individual contributor who has to accept the OSM's
new licensing terms, the data was not imported directly from CANVEC into
OSM.

As a Canadian tax payer I'm not quite certain I like the idea of OSM having
the power to re-license Government data but that is a separate issue.
