{Cite GIS} : icon to tag GIS sources

  Done— see GIS sources & palettes files page.

Need to tag :

  • warning icon for "non wikipedia compatible license", and
  • star/quality icon for "must to download, great for wikimaps (map convention)".

Need to choice one. Yug (talk) 05:18, 21 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

ASTER not public ___domain?

USGS say this about ASTER:

ASTER Global DEM (GDEM) data are subject to redistribution and citation policies. Before ordering ASTER GDEM data, users must agree to redistribute data products only to individuals within their organizations or projects of intended use, or in response to disasters in support of the GEO Disaster Theme. When presenting or publishing ASTER GDEM data, users are required to include a citation stating, "ASTER GDEM is a product of METI and NASA."

Can we use this? Secretlondon (talk) 17:51, 18 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

USGS's as all federal agency's works are by the American law within the Public ___domain. Then, they push push to keep the distribusion centralized : they don't want forks appearing around the web. Same for the citation: that make sense academically. This is their wishes, but not law. I'm pretty sure the file are PD. Yug (talk) 22:54, 18 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
