I do. They have resources to bring our data into the shape they want it 
in. I'm not saying let's make it extra difficult for them - but I don't 
see that we should change anything just because someone might like our 
data better that way.

So what - we're not a manufacturer, and we're not selling anything. We 
don't have paid staff. We are a bunch of people making a map; we're not 
offering a "service" to anybody. If people like what they see, they are 
welcome to use it; if they don't like what they see, they are welcome to 
join and improve things. Easy as that.

Bye
Frederik
