Apart from the licensing issue, many of these sorts of edits are simply
wrong.  I had to correct several "ficticious" footways in my local area
which simply didn't exist on the ground, and sometimes crossed rivers at
alleged fords. It was simply dangerous to direct people to try to walk
what was perhaps an historic right of way. Ground survey nearly always
needed. I concede that good imagery evidence can sometimes do if there
are no local mappers.
