[OSM-talk] Getting 403-Forbidden from my app that WAS on sale onthe appstore

[80n]

Form the description of True Maps at

"- Search and Edit POI. True maps will allow you to search for specific
places of interest nearby and to even add your owns totally offline. Since
true maps will interact directly with openstreetmap your POI will also be
available to everyone!"

This seems like a bit of a dilemma.  On the one hand we want a mass market
POI editing tool to capture all those long tail contributors, on the other
hand that's never going to happen if we block any prospective app as soon as
it starts to become popular.
