My concern is the quality of their location data - they suffer from the well known myth that a postcode defines the location. I have helped in a few specific cases but the local branch didn't seem interested in for example checking the locaion of pubs before uploading. This then leads to concerns that the licence is problematic as presumably googles geocoder has been used.
