I believe it means you can write code to read the Navtech CD, provided you paid for it. You can create your own maps in the format, then read it back.

Remember, the Navtech data is per application, meaning, if it is licensed for Mapquest, or Yahoo Maps, or the Alpine navigation software, it can *not* be used for another piece of software. You have to license it from navtech per application. So if you wrote your code to understand the map format, you *still* need to fork over $75,000 for the data.
