Hi!
No idea what Oliver talked about either, but I work in the automotive
industry myself.
I can tell you that some of the major players have looked at using OSM data
several times. They decided against it primarily because of the lack of a
binding tagging scheme and the basic unreliability of

Alex,
Some of the points you continue to make are patently false.

Let's take this apart. If the data is open, by which you mean that
it would fall into something like the definition of

So we're wondering why OpenStreetMap, being better (superior?) than Google
in map data, is not used by commercial companies like BMW. Is there a
native German on this list who can ask BMW why they're not using OSM?

Possible reasons:
- they don't want their clients to think they're being guided by maps
that are not made by professionals (a silly prejudice)

Nobody remembers Bosch talk at SOTM Tokyo ?
This make me think that the automotive industry is already working on using
OSM data in the not so far future... and Bosch already have a bicycle

My guess is that they are looking also beyond the German border when
choosing their data provider ;-). Not everywhere our map is superior to

Another aspect of where the ODbL hurts us: Because we are using a

I disagree. This is about money; my personal belief is that CloudMade would
have made more dollars without having to ShareAlike. More business models open
up, and it wouldn’t have had to deal with the community. Indeed I imagine this
