I've just had an email from Leo, who wrote the piece and it seems he may
add to it including a reference to the closed nature of OSM and
acknowledging OSM. I also pointed him to RichardF's tweet describing
crowd-serfing https://twitter.com/richardf/status/296244090415239168

You can always call the BBC up and ask if they would like a quote to
give the piece balance. The Beeb love their balance, they get nervous
if you suggest a piece lacks balance.
So you'd suggest that the article includes a quote from critics who
point out that the data is only available to Google, unlike OSM, blah.
I don't have the number for the technology news desk, but the number
for the web site general newsdesk used to be 0207 765 1065 and if you
get through to any part of the news operation and ask for the web site
technology desk they should put you through.
Not that we have a press officer but Harry has done good work in the
past putting out press releases :-)

No mention of OSM in this piece:

Google has been getting a free pass from the media but now they
are making hardware that may change, waiting for the Nexus
sweatshop / employee suicide stories to emerge.
It will be interesting to see if they get enough contributors to
even sort out the mess that gmaps poi's are in let alone to add
buildings, etc. Outside of a few urban centres I don't see it myself.
