<div dir="ltr">Browsing the web I just realized that Google Maps is including some data to their maps which didn't exist formerly. Why? Because they are exactly the same data I included in OSM. I just checked the University of Almería, in Spain, which have exactly the same building shapes I uploaded, the same streets and routes and everything. I guess it could be legal if they showed that data as free, but not claiming it as owned by Google. Can we do anything there?<br /> </div>
