I feel OSM has many flaws and one of them is that it's failing to address
the flaws adequately. I think the fault lies with the OSM marketing
department - what do you mean, we haven't got one ?
Another fer instance: ex-mappers should be a swear-word around here.

Of course big head at company A usually knows how to quickly get in
contact with big head at company B, what really bugs them with OSM is
that they are supposed to use the same channels as John Doe.

Well less that,
Just a quick comment that GeoHipster is just a (fun) blog with some
tongue-in-cheek atmosphere. There are eg interviews on it and guest
posts with very different opinions. Gary's post is his own views. I am
not affiliated with GeoHipster, just wanted to clear this up.

Perhaps TeleNav or Bing's lawyers are brave enough to say ODbL is not a

I love Gary - I think it’s great that OSM is getting to the point that people
will write 100 page critiques of it. We must be doing something right. :-)
I actually tried on the single point of contact issue, I think it’d be a great
idea for OSM to have a 1-800 (or similar) number. Even manned
