Better check also on the current status of Suffolk vs. Experian, where the
Federal District Court ruled in 2002 that Suffolk County (in New York State)
could copyright its GIS data and output.

Experian may have appealed, and I don't know what the current status is (let
us know, if you find out).

Best regards,

Fred.
