[Talk-in] Geospatial Information Regulation Bill propsal

[Anish Mangal]

The funny part is that the government bodies themselves seem to be excluded
from this proposed new "law"!

Don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I work in disseminating openstreetmap in offline environments in
educational setups in India, and having dealt with the government, I have
to generate tiles which show Kashmir and Arunachal "properly", otherwise
the said schools/administrations will simply refuse to have the maps at
all.
