I disagree. NearMap is part of the community, as a source of imagery,
as a consumer of OSM maps, and as the developer of a (forthcoming?)
editor. NearMap's voice counts for a lot more than many of the squeaky
wheels on this list. Not only that, but NearMap represents *here and n
ow* issues around the licenses, rather than potential future issues,
so it's doubly welcome. IMHO.
