Hi,

  I just wanted to say that I am positively surprised by the latest
post on blog.osmfoundation.org regarding Apple's use of our data.

Reading the echoes of this in the blogosphere, OSM(F) is almost
universally praised for its reaction. Communications professionals say
it was a masterful stroke to say "Welcome, Apple" instead of, e.g.,
"Thieving bastards steal OSM data". And even those who are not in the
business of manipulating opinion and who don't see a clever plan
behind every communication say that our reaction was cool.

I'm very happy that it has turned out this way, and I would hope that
we could aim for this kind of non-confrontational communication in the
future as well.

For a while - remembering the recent anti-Google outbursts - I had
feared that OSMF would perhaps go all confrontational and post
something indignant about "considering our legal options" and stuff.

Of course this doesn't mean that we should let anyone get away without
proper attribution but the post found just the right words to express
that in a non-threatening but still nagging way: "It's also missing
the necessary credit to OpenStreetMap's contributors; we look forward
to working with Apple to get that on there."

Clearly lessons have been learned here. Good job!

Bye
Frederik
