[Xastir-dev] natural earth replacement for worldhi.map ?

[Jason KG4WSV]

hi dev gang,

Has anyone looked at the licensing for Natural Earth data to see if it's
"redistribute with xastir" compatible?

https://www.naturalearthdata.com/about/terms-of-use/

"All versions of Natural Earth raster + vector map data found on this
> website are in the public domain. "


and

"No permission is needed to use Natural Earth. Crediting the authors is
> unnecessary."


They go on to list data sources and releases from those sources.


I'm looking at the data and it looks like a few of the 110m scale files
will more or less replicates worldhi. I need to download a few more files
to see if there's some water data, but their server seems to be down at the
moment.

I've started on some dbfawks to de-monochrome it a bit, but thought I'd get
your opinion on license compatibility before I wasted much time on it.

PS unrelated, the 10m data looks interesting too (not for inclusion as a
worldhi replacement, just as a map base), but making good use of them will
be some dbfawk development.
