When I went to the Libre Software Meeting 2001, I recorded all the
path from Porto (Portugal) to Bordeaux (France) using my GPS and laptop. 
I never processed this data, I just recorded it for "future use". :)
If anyone wants this file just let me know (3 Mbytes gzipped NMEA).

I would help a project to build a free geographic database and map routing
software. I tought about the license of such a database and I would like that
it was similar to the GPL, meaning that if someone modifies the database
it must give back the changes (corrections/additions) he made. I remember
reading somewhere that in the US databases are not protected. Is this correct?
In the EU there is a Directive (96/9/EC) on the legal protection of databases.
Anyway, anyone knows if a free database license already exists ?

Regards,
