Thanks Curt

I'm a little curious with regards to using the X-Plane data.
What sort of agreement is there with regards to the exchange of data between 
the X-Plane and FlightGear communities?
Obviously the exchange is mutually beneficial but the the licensing 
differences are huge.
Is the X-Plane airport database GPL material?

Also what happens if we want to add FG specific data to the airports file?
Like new flags, data types or extra data not catered for in the X-Plane 
airport file format?
If I create taxiways in FG can they be merged with the X-Plane airport DB or 
will we forever be having to merge lots of updates before a scenery build?

Thanks
Paul
