[OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap Population inconsistencies report by Kontur

[Warin]

I have in the past questioned the source of this information .. and been 
refereed back to some data base inside Kontur. That data base .. has no 
source information.

I think it comes from copyright information .. but I am unable to verify 
it and Kondor only quotes itself.. catch 22...
