Nope. Data is freely distributable. 2CDs for shapefile version of LINZ Topo
data, 1.5Gb of imagery, so prob 3 CD's. I haven't worked out the volume for a
PostGIS dump.

Note that apart from getting some more road data & a national cadaster
(addresses/properties), I'd also like to update to v11 of the LINZ topo data
released in Nov 2005. Dunno how long this will take me :-)
