It was an honest question - I don't know the Polish project Andrzej was 
talking of and it may just be possible to somehow email the contributors 
and ask them. It didn't sound like a project where they have imported 
tons of stuff from commercial/government providers like you have in 
Australia, it sounded more like you'd be working with human beings.

Did imports and Nearmap tracing in Australia start before the 
relicensing effort, or were you simply not aware of it, or did you not 
take it seriously?
