[Osmf-talk] Change to WMF Terms of Use: Requirements for disclosure

[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

There is a word in German language - Jein. It means Ja und Nein, yes and
no at the same time.

Here is an article, an information card, of a shop:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2402537967 at OSM. It includes brand's
URL, phone number, contact e-mail and telephone, opening hours.

Here is an article of a hotel:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2357093470 .

In future, when servers' hard disks are even more larger and processors
are even more faster, why not allow to include photos and video of a
hotel and its rooms in this data card? And make this data card
accessible with one click from the map surface.

It means it would be similar to an on-line encyclopedia but the access
to information, to articles, will be via geographical location on the
planet's surface, on the map, as opposite to a search by words. That
bridge may be crossed when we come to it.

By the way, there is already OpenStreetMap in Wikipedia articles. For
example here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordrhein-Westfalen
(icon-link in the upper right corner).
