Court Rules GIS Data Can't Be Kept Secret

Posted by Zonk on from the can't-hide-from-the-survey dept.

Silverbear writes "In an update from a Slashdot story posted in January, The Connecticut Supreme Court has ruled that there is not a significant security risk to the town of Greenwich in making its GIS Data available to the public, and therefore must do so. Greenwich had claimed that the data could compromise personal and national security, and was sued under CT Freedom of Information laws. The legal ruling is available."

    Personally I would in GIS, and I feel people should infect have to pay to get the GIS information, otherwise, you have people taking public domain GIS and making profit off the information. It's just stupid that people steal government information for their own profit. Especially since GIS people put so much work in the converges, then see it taken and abused by the public.
