It will cause big problems if you don't get their explicit permission
to reuse and build on top of their maps.

These are the terms and conditions, which are as restrictive as they

You should get in touch with the open data community in Colombia. I
assume there is one, as this is so cool and trendy now :) Is there
somebody from Colombia in this list?
They will help you making the case for IGAC to open the maps. If the
information is owned by the government, the citizens should be able to
use it in any way they like.

Take a look here:
