I accept the spirit of the suggestion, but 1000 tiles is probably a
bit conservative. There is a level at which (IMHO) we would prefer low
volume applications of whatever sort to use OSM instead of Google etc.
even if that comes at the cost of tile accesses on OSM servers. I
suppose my rule of thumb would be that the human eyes looking at the
third-party application would be no greedier than had we had those
same eyes on the main OSM site.

In such cases, assuming correct attribution, such sites are providing
us with welcome publicity and we need not be mean with our tiles.
