Hello, I hope this message finds you well.
Thank you for making Santa Cruz County GIS data available to the public. My name is Galen Asphaug. I am a contributor to the OpenStreetMap project, a collaborative open project to create a global geodata set freely usable by anyone.
We respect the intellectual property rights of others, and I write to ask if we may use your data. We are interested in reproducing some of the data hosted at https://sccaz-gis.maps.arcgis.com/home/index.html
(specifically: building footprints, addresses, road names and paths, and 'Patagonia Addresses with Businesses' data). This is a fantastic dataset and we appreciate the field work.
Can you please clarify what license (if any) this data is being shared with?
Thank you again for helping to ensure that this data is being used as widely as possible, and to support the general public and local commerce.
Galen Asphaug.
