-------- Original Message -------- Subject: USGS National Map US Topo Copyright Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2012 13:43:01 -0500 From: John M Anderson <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Hi All, Please excuse me if I’m behind the curve on this. I noticed that the street information on the Baton Rouge East 2012 National Map US Topo map is attributed as copyright 2006-2011TomTom. Having been taught while growing up in the library world that nearly all US government documents were free of copyright restrictions, I’ve generally steered patrons who want to reproduce maps for publications to the USGS maps. It looks like they will have to get permission from TomTom to use the street information. Have anyone else encountered this? John John M.
