Naturally you fail to mention that<br>
<br>
a) whatever service provider did the geo-coding of the above data
undoubtedly used the data for the same purposes as OSM would (and
likely a lot more)<br>
<br>
and<br>
<br>
b) in my proposal I specifically address the issue of providing the
geo-coded addresses anonymously <br>

PS: just to avoid confusion we are talking about addresses without
any attached personal information (names etc), so the data
protection issue is sole the linkage between who is doing the
geo-coding and the address. <br>
