Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Q: Is all of the sample data provided on the ESRI Data & Maps disks freely redistributable?
A: No. Much of the sample data is provided by various, third party data vendors under license to ESRI for inclusion on ESRI Data & Maps disks for use with ESRI software.
Q: What does the last column "Redistribution" on the Redistribution Rights matrix with its "Yes" or "No" answers mean?
A: Each data vendor has its own data licensing policies and may grant varying redistribution rights to end users. Please consult the Redistribution Rights Codes below to determine the redistribution rights for a certain sample data file provided on ESRI Data & Maps disks. As used herein, "geodata" shall mean any digital dataset consisting of geographic data coordinates and associated attributes.
- No—Internal Use Only. No redistribution rights are granted by the data vendor, and the data is for the end user's own internal use only.
- Yes 1—Redistribution rights are granted by the data vendor for hardcopy renditions or static, electronic map images (for example, .gif, .jpeg) that are plotted, printed, or publicly displayed with proper metadata and source/copyright attribution to the respective data vendor/vendors.
