Mexico Postal Codes
Max Jaramillo
Just following up on a previous post regarding the Mexican postal codes. Is it then not possible to obtain the Postal Code / Georeference dump for Mexico because of their "apparent" restrictions?
The data is freely accessible from their site. All I need are the geo-coordinates per Postal Code zone.
Any help please?

I agree with you that the clause is probably not legally binding.
However, I personally don't like sophism of any kind and I prefer to
comply to peoples wishes as I would like that other people act in
accordance with my wishes. They clearly ask not do redistribute their
data and we could at least ask for an exception. Would you like to send
them an email and ask whether we are allowed to dump the data with added
lat/lng information? This could be your contribution to the geonames
project ;-)
Cheers

I have writing daily emails to Sepomex to have them freely release
their "postal code" information to the geonames community. I would
call but have no tel/contact where to reach someone. I haven't given-
up, but do you have any suggestions?
I am anxious to get the Mexican Postal Code dump.

You could try giving them some days to answer. They might get annoyed by
receiving daily emails and you end up on their spam filter and in the trash.

It's me again with my request for the Mexican Postal Dumps.
I've been corresponding with Mr. Benjamín Luna del Razo [Subdirector
de Desarrollo de Sistemas] of Sepomex and while he reiterates that the
service is completely free, his departament does not have the vested
"authority" to authorize our request. Excuse the redundancy.
The best I could get from him is the following... I don't know if this
will "pass muster" with geonames. The e-mails are in reverse
chronological order.
I hope that based on Mr. Luna del Razo's reiterations that the Sepomex
data is of free/open use, you decide to release the geo-referenced
postal coordinates for Mexico. It's not exactly what we wanted, but
it's close...
Let us know.
Max

Sr. Jaramillo:
Entendemos claramente el sentido de su solicitud, sin embargo, como le
informé en mi correo electrónico del 18 de los corrientes, no contamos
con las facultades su autorización.
La información de códigos postales de nuestro país se encuentra
publicada en el portal institucional de Sepomex, al cual ustedes
podrían direccionar su consulta, en caso de considerarlo conveniente.
Saludos,
Benjamín Luna

Sr. Luna del Razo,
Primero, muchas gracias por su respuesta.
Como ya sabrá, la comunidad de geonames.org es sin-ánimo de lucro y no
vende ni comercializa ningúno de los datos de geo-referenciación
encontrados en su sitio web - www.geonames.org. Toda la información es
de disponsición gratuita y libre.
Al ofrecer los datos gratuitamente a los particulares de la comunidad,
confío entonces que geonames.org está actuando de acorde a las normas
de Sepomex?
Atentamente,
Max Jaramillo
pd: Favor ver como se está usando los datos de Sepomex actualmente:
