Lack of a<br>
copyright notice no longer implies public domain.</blockquote><div><br>I am 110% aware of this, and it has, as far as I know, never been a requirement in Norway. Please reread my message, and tell where I said that the maps _are_ public domain.<br>
<br>1) No, once again, I did not say the maps _are_ public domain<br>2) No, public domain is not a term that applies under Norwegian copyright law, but it is still sometimes uses to indicate "free for any usage".<br>
3) No, noone should use copy from these maps, unless they know something which I don't<br>4) YES, it is worth checking if these maps are free for any usage.<br>5) No, the fact that they are published without any copyright information does not make them free.<br>
6) YES, it is very uncommon to publish maps in Norway without copyright information<br>7) YES, this "might indicitate" that hey are free for any usage.<br>8) No, they are not free because they lack copyright information<br>
<br>Who would be willing to clarify the license for these maps? A few things indicate that Norsk Polarinstitutt actually intends their data to be freely available.<br><br>9) No, that does not mean the data _is_ freely available.<br>
<br>Since two people misunderstodd my previous e-mail, I hope I was clear this time :-)<br><br>Did I mention that acopyright statement is not needed for the maps to be covered by copyright?<br><br><br><br> - Gustav<br></div>
