I have discovered a lot of data in OSM that appears to have been
copied from Google Maps. See
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/source#values and type "google"
into the search box. There appear to be over 30000 objects in the OSM
database copied from Google. Anyone willing to help delete data and
warn users? (It is a LOT of work to do this myself). Please beware
that some of these objects may have been modified by innocent users
afterward, please check the history to see which user originally added
it.
