Well, I am not surprised that there exist people who think that CC-BY-SA
"is a problem" :)

(All those lengthy BSD vs. GPL threads in usenet would not exist, if not
both parties claim that the other parties license "is a problem" ;-)

Cool.. We need the option to switch off the background layer and display
the land shape too! This looks very clean. Are there an available database
with the shape of the land like this?

Ciao,
