well, give a kid a gun and you ARE responsible (at least partially)
for what happens. There's to decide whether distributing instructions
and code for tracing from Googlemaps into OSM (JOSM is still mostly an
OSM-app) is more like a hammer or more like a gun ;-)

IMHO he could at least put the disclaimer on top of the page.

cheers,
Martin
