In my recent foray into Victoria, I found spots which must have been mapped from Nearmap, judging from the quality of the mapping and the lack of street names or POIs. I haven't done any check to see if those mappers have attributed Nearmap on a changeset or otherwise. I believe 536 mappers is a minimum who have used Nearmap. And if I take 134 as the numerator, and 3390 as the denominator, then I get 4%. This represents a large community who have decided that they are staying CC-by-SA. Some of those mappers aren't local and don't count - like stae**er who traced parts of remote Australia from Google, admitted it and still hasn't had any attention to his edits from the DWG, although I pointed out that he had edited over the whole world from his armchair, and the source of those was likely to be Google as well. Rosscoe cleaned up Crystal Brook, I cleaned up Marree, and Halls Creek remains polluted. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
