[mkgmap-dev] licence and copyright in overview map

Sat Jun 1 09:18:50 BST 2013

Hi all,

I am not sure what to use in the overview map (and how)

option --copyright-message can be used to place a msg into each *.img file.
This message is displayed in GPSMapEdit -> File -> Map Properties as
"Copyright information",
preceded by the text "PROGRAM LICENCED UNDER GPL V2" which is always added
by mkgmap.

option --license-file can be used to place license messages into each *.img
file.
MapSource displays these lines when you click on the Copyright button in the 
map manager (German : "Kartenproduktmanager")

When reading *.img files, mkgmap r2636 cannot (yet) extract the data 
from the "--copyright-message", it can only extract the "--license-file"
info.

Reg. the overview map:
r2636 places the "--license-file" info into the *.tdb file and into the
place
where the "--copyright-message" info would normally go.

I would prefer to extract the "--copyright-message" from the 
ovm_*.img, but I don't know how complicated that is (at least it seems  
not simple), so for now I've committed r2637:
evaluate options --license-file and --copyright-message when creating the 
overview map.

@Steve:
TreFileReader.getCopyrights() contains this comment:
// TODO This needs the label section to work... 

Is this the right place to extract the data? I think it should
better be placed in uk.me.parabola.imgfmt.app.map.MapReader
as this has the labels ?

Gerd
