[mkgmap-dev] Processing of mp source
From Mike Baggaley mike at tvage.co.uk on Tue Mar 17 14:29:08 GMT 2020
Regarding the "PROGRAM LICENCED UNDER GPL V2" message, I do not think this should be in the copyright at all. The copyright statement is about the copyright of the map, not the program used to build the map. However, the source code indicates that there have to be at least two copyright messages or the map does not show up, and this message is only added if there are less than 2 copyright messages. Something has to be added (or it could exit saying you must provide a copyright statement). Perhaps some investigation needed? I think that if a copyright file is provided, this should override any existing copyright messages from any input files (i.e. the functionality is correct now). If you are providing a copyright file, it is up to you to make sure it contains all messages that are required.

Actually there is a copyright line from mp header. After patching, option "copyright-file" overrides mp header. Without "copyright-file" reappears value from mp. I'm not sure, maybe there should be both copyrights present? Dropping a copyright doesn't look proper. When copyright from mp header is used, is preceded by a line: "PROGRAM LICENCED UNDER GPL V2". I guess it is about mkgamp, wouldn't be better to put explicit "PROGRAM MKGMAP..." there? Just to make sure, it wasn't Mapwel or MapTk ;) One more question. Does mkgmap correct problems with routing network in mp? I mean problems like distance between routing nodes too short, road intersects with itself or something like adjusting turn headings. -- Best regards, Andrzej
