Mauls might be wrong in this case but the name of a road in the local paper
isn't copyrighted. It's a basic fact, the newspaper didn't create it and
they certainly don't own it.

If I read in the local paper that the  Blockbusters down the road has
closed down I am perfectly free to use that information to remove it from
OSM. It is just ridiculous FUD to say otherwise.
