The best idea is to ask them and we would like to know the answer
too.<br>
One possibility is that they don't know what OSM is.<br>
<tt>That's true for 99.9% of the persons.<br>
Please note in the </tt><tt><a href="http://www.click2map.com/"
target="_blank">Click2map</a>'s answer that they consider OSM as
tiles, not as a database and not as a database they can change.<br>
</tt><tt>And that's why cooperating with those who can spread the
idea is interesting.<br>
</tt><tt>Another possibility is reliability and security. Their data
could be mangled by anyone. If real vandalism hasn't occurred in
OSM yet, it's because of the 99.9%.<br>
