[OSM-talk] OSMF: The people you are going to hand over your OSM data ...

[Lambertus]

Sorry, but I don't see a lot of OSM people going over to 'the dark 
side'. No matter how good or bad OSM is being run.

If I don't agree with how things are being done here at OSM then I'll 
try to fix it, work around it or quit, but I'm *not* going to be an 
unpaid employee for Google's mega profits.
