I’m with that, for Potlatch. The version of Potlatch thats online on the OSM site only uploads to OSM. We can’t use Google’s data to contribute to OSM, so it would be extremely silly to implement the ability to. > I'll also note that it was originally announced on the JOSM mailing list here: > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/josm-dev/2007-October/000181.html > Frederik does make a good point that it could be used for good. With JOSM, it’s different: JOSM isn’t tied to the OSM site, you can upload the data to anywhere else. However, I do feel that it should do something to prevent upload to OSM when layers with incompatible terms of use have been used. A possible consideration for a future API is to move the check there: JOSM uploads, and indicates what data sources were used in the editing session. Server checks, sees GoogleWMS, replies “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.” Simon -- A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works.—John Gall
