Pan-European Geographic Data Now Available under Open Data License
This 1:1 million scale topographic dataset, dubbed EuroGlobalMap,
will be available free of charge for any use under a new open data
licence. It is produced using authoritative geo-information provided
by members of EuroGeographics, the Association for European Mapping,
Cadastre and Land Registry Authorities. EuroGlobalMap can be used
for cross-border planning, monitoring and network analysis, as well
as presenting environmental policies. It collects national mapping
data supplied by 45 European countries and territories, which falls
under six categories: administrative boundaries, names locations,
transport networks, settlements, elevation, and the water network.The move is part of a wider package of new licensing agreements and
lower pricing to enable more users to benefit from members'
pan-European data. The changes mean that EuroGeographics will sell
only European and regional coverage of its EuroBoundaryMap,
EuroRegionalMap, and EuroDEM products. Individual national datasets
and cross-boundary areas for each product will be available from
licensed distributors and value-added resellers.
I dati si scaricano compilando questo modulo. Altamente inconsueto come
"open data" ma una volta scaricati si possono redistribuire (fastidioso
e totalmente superfluo più del modulo in sé la cessione a terze parti
dei dati personali).

La licenza non è standard ma è di tipo "attribution":
Acknowledge the copyright and the source of the data by including the
following attribution statement: “This product includes Intellectual

Short form – “© EuroGeographics. Original product is freely available

Un po' lungo come attribution statement. Vedremo se possono aggiustarlo
e permettere che venga usato solo il link (altrimenti su un dispositivo
mobile si vede solo l'attribution e non la mappa).
I dati sono disponibili in Geodatabase o SHP. Immagino il link diretto
di download temporaneo avrà breve vita http://goo.gl/Evsb2
Happy mapping
