I'm trying to figure out how to adapt his drawing of Hoboken > terminal w/o stepping on his copyright. As long as you completely redraw the plan from scratch, there is no copyright issue since his map is factual information. You can interpret the map in any way you'd like, but the point is, it isn't an "original work" - i.e., he didn't make up this neat track plan, it exists and he just documented it. It is only a copyright violation if you take the map verbatim and put it up on a web site. > I have the NJT > station plan which > I can use. I will be adding the grade and curve data over > time.
