				The *.hmap files in this directory contain a digital elevation model based on the SRTM v4 heightmap.

				DATASET: The data distributed here are in ARC GRID, ARC ASCII and Geotiff format, in decimal degrees and datum WGS84. They are derived from the USGS/NASA SRTM data. CIAT have processed this data to provide seamless continuous topography surfaces. Areas with regions of no data in the original SRTM data have been filled using interpolation methods described by Reuter et al. (2007).

CIAT also request reprints of any publications and notification of any redistributing efforts. For commercial access to the data, send requests to Andy Jarvis.
				leperUnsubmitted Not Done Inline Actions That prohibited part does conflict with quite a few other things, it's similar to CC(-BY)-NC licenses which we also do not accept for contributions. So your options are to either try to get another source for your data (NASA should be fine since US government creations are public domain, then again this only applies to things not produced by contractors, but last I checked things produced by NASA were public domain), ask for that to be under CC-BY-SA, or remove those files. leper: That prohibited part does conflict with quite a few other things, it's similar to CC(-BY)-NC…
