This is the first time I see this map. I will definitely look into it.

The only official topo maps I know of are the ones produced in M1:5000 in the 50s to 70s and the M1:10000 produced in the 70s-80s. They're sold in a raster format by the sheet, so are completely useless to you.

On the toponyms part though, there's the official registry of toponyms that is openly accessible but not open-data. You can download it in its entirety thereby breaking copyright law:

Note the EU funds info box and annoyingly the copyright label below it.

Thank you a lot, that helps.

That helps even more, thank you again!

I'm not doing this for any monetary gains and most probably the data/project will only be accessed by a handful of people really interested in this sort of stuff, so hopefully no-one will come after me :)
