the FreeGIS project is primarily interested in Free GeoData
analog to Free Software. Unfortunately there are little
useful free geogrpahic for areas other than the US.

For political boundaries this is even more annyoing since
these geographic information are defined, not measured and
thus should not be owned by anyone resticting the rights to
use so drastically as it is the case e.g. for Europe.

For the meantime you will have to get proprietary data
with all the restrictions.

There might be some less precise free data out there ...
I would be happy to learn about such.
