[OSM-talk] Truth about media hype in Microsoft lending big support and big dollars to OSM ?

Actually I fail to see any war going on, because Google can easily
take our data, attribute accordingly and use them (with ODbL it will
be even easier). For some unknown for me reason they still insist to
use their own "soup" of data :)

So Microsoft gave us Bing permission, and for that I say thank you.
That's rare one from their list of their open source/open data efforts
(I won't count forced by court releasing api docs for SMB/MAPI in good
deeds, but still it was nice step from them to not to prolong that
stupid case).
