Hi,
I see on http://haiti.ushahidi.com/ a background map which, to me, is
clearly OpenStreetMap, with terms of use that link to
http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/help/terms_maps.html.
This is of nature to make lay people think that the background map is
Google maps. (And indeed, several press articles mention this, including
BBC News and Le Monde.fr)
In my humble opinion, it also does not abide to OpenStreetMap licence :
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Licence
Hoping this is only a leftover of a crisis situation,
Best regards,
Jean-Guilhem Cailton
