You didn't promote local mapping, you promoted an import that has
meanwhile turned out to be a massive copyright violation because you
decided to act first and ask questions later - which is exactly the kind
of "help" that I am advocating against. I don't doubt your good
intentions, but I am certain that every single person in the
humanitarian sector knows that good intentions alone aren't sufficient.
