[Talk-ca] Importing MLI park boundaries

[Sam Vekemans]

That is upto the OpenStreetMap Foundation to decide on what todo, as
they will effectivelly 'own' all the rights to the data, including all
tainted data.
We (as a community) do not have a say in this matter, unfortunatly.
cc'd the lists,
it's up to them to reply back.


cheers,
sam
