<div><br></div><div>I'm not certain what this 'wikimapia data' is or where it can be downloaded from. But it seems to be that this could be the placemark content- titles, descriptions, images and comments, but not the geographical coordinates. I have seen numerous cases where the description and images have just been copied from wikipedia and this license change is probably an attempt at conforming with the cc-by-sa license.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If this data covers the geographical coordinates which have been derived from google maps service, then it doesnt make any sense. Can someone clarify?</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br clear="all">
