Is it done by mkgmap ? Is it a Garmin format limitation ?</div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">- In the default license/copyright text, one can read "Program released under the GPL" and "PROGRAM LICENCED UNDER GPL V2". I assume it's the mkgmap license, instead I'd expect here the license of the produced Garmin map.</div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">Documentation remarks :</div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><font color="#4f7a28"><i>--copyright-message=note</i></font></div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><font color="#4f7a28"><i>Specify a copyright message for files that do not contain one.</i></font></div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">What files are we talking about ?
