+Disclaimer : This package is not part of the Debian operating system.
+ The r-cran-maptools source and binary Debian packages are part of the
+ "non-free" area in our archive. The packages in this area are not part of the
+ Debian system, although they have been configured for use with Debian. We
+ nevertheless support the use of the r-cran-maptools source and binary Debian
+ pacakges and provide infrastructure for non-free packages (such as our bug
+ tracking system and mailing lists).
+ .
+ The r-cran-maptools package contains some data files, inst/shapes/baltim.*,
+ inst/shapes/columbus.*, and inst/shapes/sids.* (see below), whose license does
+ not permit modification.
+ .
+ A request about relicensing was send to Julia Koschinsky <jkoschin at asu.edu>
+ but not answered until now.
+ .
+ The r-cran-maptools package also contains files of unclear ownership and
+ licensing: `data/wrld_simpl.rda' and `inst/shapes/pointZ.*'.

- Quoting a mail of the author Roger Bivand <Roger.Bivand at nhh.no>:
- .
-  They serve two functions, one to demonstrate the working of the function
-  on real data (here data sets used most often in the scientific literature),
-  for import functions these must be real external files, not saved R objects.
-  Secondly and most crucially, R CMD check <pkg> is the key QA tool for
-  packages, and runs all the examples in a package. Any failure in these
-  shows that an edit had unexpected side effects. I often work on packages
-  offline, so the package must ship with the real files.
- .
- A request about relicensing was send to Julia Koschinsky <jkoschin at asu.edu>
- but not answered until now.
