Mapping Hacks

Open Access to State Collected Geospatial Data states the case, and calls for an open license (Creative Commons style, with a ShareAlike clause for commercial use.)

If you suffer from lack of open access to geospatial information collected by National Mapping Authorities in your country, or would like to show your support for those who are, please read and sign up to the manifesto.

A few weeks ago Steve Coast created a pledge to sign the manifesto and also donate ten pounds to the cause of creating free of copyright maps in London, and tools for anyone to make them in other places. This would go towards purchase of hardware and into resources for the Open Geodata workshop at WSFII.
