Replying to myself here, because I thought of another angle: The free
version of cGPSmapper doesn't allow you to set a copyright on the map.
Instead it puts a notice about cGPSmapper in there. If you distribute
that file it would violate the OSM Creative Commons Copyright, because
you must mention OSM. So I think we would either have to find a different
way of putting the copyright in there or we have to buy cGPSmapper.
