[Talk-ca] Federal licence : Confusion

That's the licence that any current CanVec uses. So if anyone has
imported from shapefiles, then yes, OGL-CA data will be in OSM. There
was something on data.gc.ca a while back about OGL-CA superseding any
other Federal open licence after a certain date. I don't remember if it
was a proposal or a statement.

True, unfortunately. The Federal one does not materially differ from the
UK one, though.
