Hi,

Quote from their "Data download agreement" 
(http://www.appalachiantrail.org/GISagreement)

"To access and use this data, we ask that you agree to the following 
liability disclaimer and that you use proper citation (see metadata for 
details) on any materials (digital or printed) in which this information 
appears, and that you use the data appropriately."

If you want to contact them, it might be good to check whether 
source=... is a proper citation for them (along with attribution in the 
wiki, maybe).

Happy hiking !
