[Talk-ca] Digitizing over an aerial photo

[Yves Moisan]

Hi All,

I have a trivia for you license-interested/competent folks.  Say I have 
a recent aerial photo coverage of a really nice town that I'd like to 
use to digitize features, is there an issue if the photo is private 
(city-owned) ?  The way I see it is that if I'm digitizing a 
point/line/polygon and assigning it attributes, I'm really 
photo-interpreting so the data is "mine".  Of course the underlying 
photograph helped, but it's not data per se.  Any arguments/counter 
arguments or real legalese pointers ?

TIA,

Yves
