Thank you for the responce.

I totally agree. Mapping without survey is regarded as an "import" and
should be followed by the import guideline.

To Mateusz:

That's right.  I understand copying collections of facts is a problematic
action over sui generis database right.

I am sure that mapping opening hours, name etc from signs is OK.

We all agree with this. However, some of us don't like the idea

because it would be unfair if websites of small business are allowed and
those of large comanies are not.

Yeah, it's not a violation of laws or licences " as far as copyright
status" is concerned. But it may cause a problem
when it comes to database rights and other rights. Thus we need a new
guideline not to violate these rights.

Thank you.
