Let me put it this way: if I installed a photo of part of an Atlas map
on my website, -say to indicate the location of the Neredbojias Castle,
how much trouble *would I* get into? If I put up a photo of Pres.
Georgy that Fiorello The Fellah took and copyrighted and "published" on
Yahoo, ditto? And if I included a, say, size-reduced version of your
map in the prospective section of my site tentatively-entitled
"Diminished Wonders of the Western World", would I really worry over
either the ethics or morals of such an insertion *or* its obscure and
distant consequences?
Now, if I took your map and tried to sell it, either online or in
hardcopy form, I could be accountable under US statute so-and-so which
loosely states "Do not sell other people's stuff."

I do not pretend to know the typical political mind other than that
self-interest is by-and-large its main purpose.

Contrary to popular belief, it is believable.
