[Geodata] Do *you* have some data you'd like to serve?

[Nate Olson]

Dear Christopher and Stefan,

+1 to Stefan's suggestion for Geonames. Copying the Geonames mailing  
list on this message. I'm not knowledgeable enough of the licensing  
scheme either, so perhaps Marc from Geonames (or others) can fill us in.

Cheers,

Nate
