If not copying, then what would you do with the information gleaned from GSV? 
If you use it as a trigger for surveying ("I see on GSV that this street name 
may be wrong in OSM so I need to go check and see for myself") I’d say that 
would be okay, but other than that, I don’t really see what you could get out 
of an exercise like that without violating Google’s TOS and/or tainting OSM 
data with copyrighted sources.

Nicolas mentioned great ‘open’ alternatives, that is where we should be looking 
for (and contributing to!) street level imagery.

Absolutely not.

You can use (and contribute to) the free alternatives like
https://mapillary.com/ and https://openstreetcam.org/, which are
CC-BY-SA and explicitly clarify you can derive data from the images to
use in OpenStreetMap.

[OSM-talk] Streetview

2019-01-06 Thread Alert Bouterse
Dear Friends,

I know that it is not allowed to use Google Maps to "copy" streetnames, but
my question is: is it allowed to use Google streetview to check streetnames
by checking the photo's for streetname signs? That way I am not just
copying but do a kind of survey through picture material. What are your
ideas about this?

Greetings Alert Bouterse
