Ok, they don't name us, but I think "a leading open source map" does 
refer to us.

Oh wauw. We're not perfect. Let's close up the shop. Thanks to SteveC 
for all the effort, but it wasn't enough.

Well, probably one of the very positive effects from OSM is the fact 
that when we start mapping something, the closed-source mappers follow 
suit. The fact that Google needs to add gimmicks like kajak routing 
across the pacific to beat us says enough.
It's a win-win situation.

Maarten
