==Place database used by Gramps==
If you want to use your own database, you don't care of licence about the license to use, but what about to when you re-use an existing databases database?
See [[GRAMPS:Copyrights|Copyrights]].
==To create our place database==
Why not creating create our own place database ? Users sharing place information. It is possible on Gramps 3.0.1 and later :
#Go on place View
#Edit menu -> Column editor
#Check Place Name, Zip, City, County, Country, Latitude, Longitude, Church Parish columns
#go on to menu {{man menu|Family Trees menu -> [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Export_View|Export View ...]]}}

==To use existing place structure and data into Gramps==
* Data to gramps XML
# to assign one format per column (font size="8" for the first column, font size="10" for the second, etc ...)
# to order by name
<coord long="-81.2636738" lat="28.9005446"/>
<placeref hlink="_c96587264d513cb56c90efab74d"/> # if need
</placeobj>
<placeobj handle="_c96587264d513cb56c90efab74d" id="P0099" type="country"> # if need ref.
<ptitle>B</ptitle>
<pname value="B"/>
</placeobj>
</places>
</database>

ex: if you don't use autofiling for number, (''<xsl:number value="postion()" format="1."/>'') generates ordered id for your place object.
