</div>How would you differentiate between edits that go to the OSM Data and<br>
edits that go to "any other source"?<br>
<br>
When you're talking about mixing the data, I think of some kind of<br>
layers. If a user now adds a POI, which layer is affected? Google could<br>
just drop this POI into their own layer so that it never reaches the<br>
OSM-Data? This way no improvements would have to go back.<br></blockquote><div><br>Most likely that's possible under the ODbL, since that'd be a produced work. I'm not sure if Google would try it or not, though, because the ODbL is pretty ambiguous. From one account (which I haven't verified), there's already OSM data in Google Maps.<br>
