[Talk-GB] Import of Cyclehoop Bike Hangars

[Steven Hirschorn]

Good point about selling the absence of licence taint. I'm always
grateful when the organisations respond, let alone give the idea
serious consideration, and I worry that they might be scared off by
the OpenDB Licence, that someone else can use the data against them if
they make it available more openly.

Are there conditions applicable if they wanted to switch to
OpenStreetMap for their base map on their website?
