    <p>Indeed, this is a beautiful collection of maps. I particularly
      like the language map.</p>
    <p>It also has a great story behind it. To date, we haven't linked
      to the story behind the osgeolive basemap, but maybe it is time to
      start doing so.<br>
    </p>
    <p>The one glitch is the copyright - in that we will be wanting to
      have the map available under an Open license. Maelle, I think it
      is a good idea to reach out to Nikolaj Cyon to sound out if she
      would like her image to be available on an Open Source
      distribution of software - noting that we would be wanting it to
      be available under an open license. (She might be interested in
      sharing a cut down version of the image in an Open format).</p>

                    I love historical maps. However, maps have been both

                        animals.<br>
                        <br>
                        Are there any people in the mapping or African
