[OSM-talk] Yahoo Maps to be provided by Nokia

[Gregory]

Can you point out some specific road names that Yahoo have copied from OSM?
Following those links to the zoomed out area I am only drawn to roads which
are only in Yahoo.

If Yahoo are copying OSM then I believe (without having attribution) they
are in breach of OSM terms regardless of what they give us. Nobody has the
ability to offer OSM without  attribution.
