My thoughts on Google MapMaker and OpenStreetMap, from their test release of Kenya in April

Basically, my reading of this very restrictive license is that it's not only useless for OSM, but for most non-profit uses.

Hi!
According to [1], G**gle released the dataset for Africa on [2].
They say, non-profit organizations can use it. Does that include OSM?
