DIBAVOD Import - which license?

Hi, because of disagreeing user Pavel I stumbled over the DIBAVOD import today. Although the google translation seemed to show that the DIBAVOD data seems quite freely licensed it would be nice to have an exact declaration under which conditions and/or which license the Data was donated. It would be kind to add a regarding line here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue Best regards Thomas (malenki)

Hello, as far as I know the license is not clearly stated on the dibavod webpage. Our czech wiki page with free datasources [1] states that it's free (as cost) and without any license restrictions - personally confirmed by the head of GIS department. I'm not sure who exactly checked this, but we could probably dig this up in the talk-cz archive. I'll add this item to the catalogue.

AFAIK DIVABOD is by Czech law (Copyright Act & Water Act) a official or authoritative work (Amtswerk auf Deutsch) and thus it's not in favour with any kind of copyright protection, besides of EU-citizen public free access right to all hydrography informations embodied in INSPIRE directive.
