But what if they read the name of the route off of the map that is copyright? Does this mean it's now public information? Does that mean that if someone reads the road names off of GoogleEarth, and tells me what they are, that I can use this information in OSM? Copyright laws are a pain in the butt... I put road names in OSM from local knowledge, but I might have first learned the road name from a map or other source that I do not have authorization to reuse. If I first saw the name on a map with a copyright, does that mean I can never use that information in the future?
