Thanks for the reply Phil,
Like yourself I have been using licensed versions of Memory Map - 1:25K & 1:50K for over 15 years now, but I have always been a bit wary of publishing extracts in support of a something I am trying to illustrate. This has come to a head when I have started to look at path profiles for 13cms.
The good facilities in Memory Map’s route planning are (for me) ideal for looking at a point-to-point paths. As such you may have seen the odd Profile pop-up in THE GREAT GM EXTRAVAGANZA Topic on the Reflector. But I was wary in including these extracts. So seeing Andy’s (and many others) extract I thought I’d ask the question.
It would be a pity if the OS came on strong with us. As Andy says their previous stance was pretty strict. And as I remember it, when I was looking to use extracts for within our repeater group magazine - FM NEWS - I approached them as to the copyright issue and would an acknowledgement suffice? They were pretty strict - with a more-or-less refusal, even for a wee ‘not for profit’ publication like ours. So I was never able to use extracts. Now I am talking over 30 years ago and technologies have moved on as has Societies (to a certain extent) approach to the issue of copyright.
