But OsmAnd wouldn't use any Code from Google, right? They would just receive the raw data stream from Google and pass it on to the OsmAnd app. So it wouldn't matter if Google Maps is open source or not because OsmAnd wouldn't use Google maps itself.
Also OsmAnd could work with other data provider like Navteq. In my navigation app (Copilot Premium) I can buy a plugin for 10€ / year for Traffic data. I can't see why such a plugin can't be open source. Even if it's not open source, can't OsmAnd leave the decition up to the user whether he or she wants to take the risc and install the plugin? OsmAnd could also sell such a plug-in for 10€ (or whatever amount) , isn't it? Am Samstag, 4.
