Book companies, like Dover, have been doing it for years. Too, I wonder how many mapping programs are repackaging of a subset of TIGER.

This company has apparently downloaded the data from the National Atlas web site, repackaged it and is now selling web access to the National Atlas and is selling a CD-ROM version as well. The web site version (at least what can be used for free) seems to work faster than the National Atlas on the Web. However, I am not amused by the commercial aspect. The company does state that they are not affiliated with USGS and that it is not THE National Atlas. Somehow I feel a little uneasy about the prospect of data being repackaged and sold.
