Conflict of Interest should be properly declared.

In that case some honesty would be appreciated - to say that this situation is 
a problem for Cloudmade and Geofabrik while another situation is not.
It's called declaring a conflict of interest.

I understand Australian law on this matter, having been recently re-trained on 
the roles of company directors.
Here they term it Governance Training, and I would be please if the OSMF Board 
spent money on itself and paid for all its directors to have this sort of 
training, if this has not already occurred.
