[OSGeo-Edu] Permission to use the Association for Amercan Geographer's GIS&T Body of Knowledge framework

[Cameron Shorter]

Charlie,
I'm interested to know the nature of the permission you have been 
granted regarding the AAG GIS&T Body of Knowledge.

Of note, it seems that the document is not for free, as you can purchase 
it from AAG's website.
Is there a free copy floating around that we can use?

I ask as I'm putting together a proposal for sponsoring the development 
of training material.
