[OSM-talk-be] Fwd: [OSM-talk-fr] StreetView?

[Nicolas Pettiaux]

Many politicians, from many different  have signed the Pact of
electronic freedoms (see http://lepacte.be and http://hetpact.be)
about the use of free software, free data and free internet. Signing
was engaging oneself. But we would need to check if they did respect
their promises.

Many do not really understand the problem and see the prie tag.

I bet here with GoogleStreet : many see gratis promotion done by Google.

Going and seeing the MP takes a LOT of energy and time, and is not
really rewarded by the community / users / developpers. I did it for
years and would with pleasure see other doing it

Best regards,

Nicolas
