Not at all; we don't want to be a pure hobbyists' project, we *want* 
commercial users to use our data in GPSes, navigation systems, 
commercial atlases and whatnot. Our project is not commercial, but we 
provide maps to anyone, commercial or not. Thus we cannot import 
anything that is restricted to non-commercial use.

We have a specialist mailing list (legal-talk) for these things if you 
want to carry the discussion further ;-)

Bye
Frederik
