Are you being seriously? To call Frederik a lier based on this email?

Quoting from:
http://blog.nestoria.co.uk/geofabrik-wins-the-best-elevator-pitch-award
(State of The Map 2010)
"Geofabrik was voted and acclaimed as the Best Elevator Pitch. Voters
appreciated the straightforward business proposition: "pay me money to
save to a lot of time". Frederic delivered an *impressive and honest
pitch* and this was reflected on the poll count." emphasis my own.
