Map Styles and Copyright
I've been wondering. Many of the annual releases are map styles such as the Pete Fenlon or Sara Wroot styles.Are there any issues with creating a commercial maps using one of these styles, assuming that the map was otherwise completely original?
Are map styles covered under something like trade dress rules?

We always clear this with the artists. If they create artwork for us, they need to and do grant all rights necessary.
