[Talk-us] Integrating our open source data into OSM

[Sean Lindsey]

Hello,

Sorry there are two threads going on here. The terms on the general site
are not for the data on the OmniPlaces page and the bit about Google refers
to the usage of Google services on the website itself, ie. we embed Google
maps. We should probably clarify this.

Our blog, blog.cybo.com/ , talks about how you may be able to use the data,
addressing issues of freshness and quality.

My guess is that OSM isn't going integrate the data (at least directly),
but we are working on addressing what we can so it is as open source
compatible as possible.

BTW, I think there may be an indicator for whether or not the business was
crowd sourced, we also have have a few listing management companies that
submit to our site as well. I'll double check this b/c it would be nice to
have if it isn't already there.
