I'll ask them some time later this week, but I think those are already
ziped files and that their email outdates those old licences.
It would be nice form someone more into legal stuff to join whit his
opinion.
Think how USGS would like to extract 180000 zip files to change one txt
file, and ziping them back jus for someone from europe asking them :D
