The problem is if someone doesnt like it, its easier to take OSM to court than google. If they out-fund OSM in the legal stakes and won, they could set precedent which they could use against larger mapping groups like google. Maybe Im just paranoid about the whole privacy and intellectual-property deal, but Id rather play safe than sorry if adding data could potentially open OSM up to any liability, as I believe all mappers should be.
