Minutiae (and facts) aside,  I prefer the intentions of b). I could bandy
around the term "fair use"; if they are only using a small part of the
dataset - e.g. 20,000 geolocations (of wifi points? :-P ) out of the
staggering size of the database, that seems reasonable to me. I'd prefer
that people didn't have completely free reign to take the entire world db
and not help us with anything in return.
