[OSM-talk] OSM data and Google Maps

Let's keep license change discussions to legal-talk. I suspect that
whoever is doing this either just found "free" data and chose not to
read the fine print or just didn't care once they had the data. Which
license we are currently using probably wasn't even considered so it
doesn't matter to this discussion.

My point is that there is *a* licence in place and, at least in
spirit, it governs the use of our data. And it is being violated by
someone who should probably know better. Google apparently knows
better and chooses to abide by it - in this case by respecting it and
(unfortunately) not using our data.
