Well, neither the former nor the current wording of the "computer game"
use case actually reflect the process of extracting road data from the
OSM planet dump via 'osm2pgsql', compiling this into FlightGear Scenery
and to distribute the result under the GPL (as we've been doing for
ages). At least this is my understanding, therefore I still do sense
the need for clarification.
