Hi, Oups. Sorry for my Engilsh then I think I use wrongly the words here. I shouldn't comment legal issues then :-)
"I don't think a service can be copyrighted. " When I was talking about google's services, I was saying "Google offer the service to put a name on a given street via the Google Map" if this service cannot be copyrighted I will use google services to complete OSM then ;-D "Those conditions could only be agreed on in a contract. But then they would need to make you agree." I don't really understand you here sorry. I just wanted to say that I think google street view cannot been used for OSM and it seems that from Steve Email that it is confirmed (for the moment): SteveC to Licensing, Openstreetmap [OSM-legal-talk] Google Street View No, it cannot be used. I'm talking to some people about this but we're not at a stage where I can announce anything positive or negative about it.
