It was your idea - as you said, only asking the legal-talk mailing list wouldn't give data representative of the opinions of the wider OSM community. > Can't you guys think more than 5 minutes ahead and realise the only way you > will be happy and viral people will be happy is with parallel projects?

Even if fighting teleatlas / etc is important to you, remember: Those guys can _never_ compete with free. Anywhere OSM has good maps, teleatlas & friends will be out of business.
