That's a good question, we have never been very explicit about the licensing 
of our data, we have made sure it's free to distribute and edit but haven't 
speficied a license over them. Which sucks, but well, nobody is perfect.

So i guess you can use the maps/flags and if you find something that is wrong 
please ping us back so we can fix it.

Do not remove the name, just add yours.
