I think there's a big attitude of "share and share alike" amongst OSMers rather than any animosity to any particular organization or other. Having said that, I fear the legal issues will not let this idea get very far. A name discrepancy between OSM and OSL data itself is a derived work of OSM. Although perhaps feeding a list along the lines of "you might like to recheck these roads" is different (?). Either way, it's a complex situation. robert. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
