I am skating on thin ice on that one because it's a collection of facts
and not in itself copyrightable under current law. Thus you should not use
it as an example. I can hold a copyright on certain aspects of the data,
such as its representation, but I can't copyright the fact that a street
runs between two coordinates.

	Thanks
