<p>> then they are in breach of our license, because everybody
interacting with a work based on OpenStreetMap data must be made
aware that the data is from openstreetmap and available under the
odbl.</p>
<p>It is not about proper attribution, it is the fact that most
people (Mainstream) do not care. But that is getting off topic.<br>
</p>
<p><u>Let me give you a roadmap:</u><br>
</p>
<p>Facebook brought WhatsApp and will now combine WhatsApp user data
with Facebook user data. Reaction from Mainstream: I don't care,
not even about my own property.<br>
</p>
<p>Google & other Smartphone OS vendors disallow the removal of
so-called "system apps". Reaction from Mainstream: I don't care
because I like dictatorship<br>
And since my E-Mail app is a system app and gets no updates
anymore (modern e-mail providers begin to change their login
systems), I have just another unusable app on my phone costing me
space.<br>
<br>
Apple traps you in there ******** universe of no standardization
and bad practice. Reaction from Mainstream: I don't care, please
let me be hostage.<br>
</p>
<p>Amazon does not pay taxes. Reaction from Mainstream: I don't
care, I will support them anyway no matter what they do.<br>
<br>
Lieferando runs shadow websites. That's literally speaking faking
real existing websites. That's legal and also supported by issuers
of SSL certificates. Reaction from Mainstream: I don't care, I let
them trick me.<br>
</p>
<p>.<br>
.<br>
.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So why should the Mainstream be interested in the source of the
data they use. Most don't even care about their own data :(<br>
Only a small portion of open-minded people mainly organized in
Communities will care and notice the great work we have done. Most
people will "just don't care" and raising awareness won't get the
desired effect (yet).<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>That is sad but the Mainstream is like that. Humanity is weak<br>
