OpenStreetMap
We're approaching the third anniversary of my pointing out on the wiki (and IRC, IIRC) that the GADM boundaries were apparently encumbered such that we couldn't use them. Like this. Which sort of begs the question of why it's still in the database, or why people have indeed continued adding them (in Ecuador and across the Middle East).
So, what are we going to do about them?

Well have you ever followed the correct procedure for data sourced from in appropriate sources and (a) asked the person adding it to remote it and (b) if they fail to do so then to report it to the Data Working Group?

I figured the community at large might want to know before they find one day that a bunch of boundaries and parts of the Antarctic coastline have disappeared.
