Summary

Description
English: PNG version of map of Germany by User:Kelisi. The map was made from Online Map Creation. OMC is only a trivial front-end to GMT, which is under the GPL. More importantly, the political boundaries are not copyrightable, and the physical earth data is from US government PD data. The transformations to produce the actual maps are mechanical and hence non-creative. Thus, I would assume that the PD claim is indeed correct. On the other hand, the newer version available here explicitly releases the maps under a CC-BY-SA license, which is fine for Wikipedia as well. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 20:34, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
