The National Land Survey of Finland will also publish whole lot of data (raster
maps, aerial images, laser scanning data and the whole topographic database in
vector format) with attribution-only licence in May 2012. I have been working
with the vector database and I know it has nearly 500 thematic layers and it
takes around 10 gigabytes in zipped shapefiles. It is at least 50 times more
than we have now in OSM. I can't yet imagine what it will mean for the OSM
project in Finland.
