[OSM-talk] Not sure what to think

[Dave F.]

It needs clarifying that it's using Google maps/Streetview that's 
unauthorized.

I use Google almost every time I add to the database. For example in 
Great Britain there's currently a project to map & update all schools in 
the country. To find their website addresses I use Google search, 
perfectly legitimately.
