Tnx Frederik. You might like AZ (or Falk or whatever) or not - but please don't underestimate the creative work of cartographers. Making a good readable, fine-looking paper map is far more than installing Mapnik, choosing some color styles and pressing the render-button. Why making to much assumptions or restriction regarding the kind of business models evolving behind OSM? I think it's not a good attitude to say, we don't like or respect this or that usage of OSM because it's too old school, it's not Web 2.0 or ..geez.. someone claims his own license for his IP (damn capitalist ;-)). So, looks ODbL is an inevitable step along the path towards fostering more creative IP on top of OSM.
