Well this looks pretty conclusive .... Do you know anyone higher up the tree in OSM who can answer his questions about linking etc. Maning?

Hi Jim,
Thanks for getting in touch. You can use EveryTrail data for Open
Street Map. Is there any way we can formalize a partnership with OSM?
A link back to EveryTrail would certainly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joost

I notice that you have the .gpx files available for download on your website without restriction, and I wondered what the licensing terms on those were. Would we be able to use them to fill in gaps in openstreetmap.com? I had a look around for licensing information, and couldn't find any.
