So, I had correctly understood despite that, as unfortunately often the
case, the key definition is very badly stated (the proof of that is that
the French and German translators have got it and translated totally
wrong). So, I made the following change to the wiki:
Old:

> indicated in a signpost or similiar on the ground.
New:
> So that GPS-like software can refer to road signs that the driver

It is worth spending time to precisely write definitions.
It avoids many map mistakes needing much more time to fix and makes a
much better OSM.

What I meant is that Google is only allowed to copyright artwork, not
facts nor even some pictures or parts thereof representing facts like
road signs. I don't see why you need copying pictures to build
destination tags.

André.
