Hello
I hope this is related to opensource / free software movement, as I
see in
newspapers, the free software movement is against google mapping
party.
Would someone please enlighten us (N00b like me) on this issue ? I
mean, it
is all about the security issues ? Or the ownership issue ?
See this thread for a detailed discussion
http://groups.google.com/group/ilug-tvm/browse_thread/thread/e61c195c55a657fd
Why the free software foundation opposes it ? Sorry, but was not
clearly
explained in the newspapers, so thought I will ask here.

read.

Free Software community is not against mapping parties, our concern is
about ownership and control of data.
