If NOAA charts are public domain . . . why doesnt someone do us all a big favor and scan them and post them on the net? Might put a few NOAA dealers out of business, I suppose, but why should we all pay for what we have already bought (as taxpayers) anyway? In fact, why doesnt NOAA just post its charts digitally? Could it be that the people who make money reproducing them and selling them would howl too loudly? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu May 14 1998 - 09:25:37 PDT
