[OSM-talk] Copyright and old maps

[maning sambale]

hi,

Just to double check if this is OK.  I found a collection of  topo
maps (1:250,000) of the Philippines from Uni of Texas' Library
[http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/ams/philippines/].  As far as I
understand, these are in the public domain
[http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/faq.html#3.html]

Ergo, I can use it for seeding some roads?

cheers,

maning
