Open Geodata in Europe - Inspire directive

[Wookey]

Those of you are in Europe should read about the Directive curently going
through, as it will affect the status of mapping data here.

http://www.okfn.org/geo/

If you think mapping data collected by public bodies should be available to
the public for free (so that we can make maps and cave visualisations with
it, for example, as we can with American map data), then you need to sign
the petition asking for this to happen, and ideally contact your MEP about
it.
