Hi, I'm taking this to talk from talk-gb.

I wonder what our moral position on mapping vs. local laws should be. Do we encourage people to break the law of their country when contributing to OSM, or do we ask people to respect the law of their country? Or is it the somewhat imperialist "respect the law unless it is made by stubborn Chinese apparatchiks or fanatical mid-east mullahs"? If someone proudly uploads tracks from China, thereby compromising - in the eyes of the Chinese - their national security, what do we say? Personally I am leaning towards the slightly sub-culture "we map everything no matter what people say". But that's probably not a tenable "official" position, especially as logic would dictate that if someone, in the UK, trespasses on someone else's land and maps their garden paths, that data should be as welcome as illegally collected tracs from China.
