I wasn't suggesting it seriously for marking objects such as streets,
though you could advertise OSM with sticker art[0] (I've seen sticker
art advertising GPL or Copyleft in the streets in Barcelona).

But I can imagine pubs or cafes agreeing to have a sticker on their
door saying something like "This pub is featured on OpenStreetMap"
similar to those that say "This cafe/hostel/.. is featured in Lonely
Planet guidebooks" - that would be mainly those that don't know what
OpenStreetMap is.  Those who do know and have some sense of humour
could accept a large minimalistic sticker saying just "amenity=pub".

Cheers
