I believe you could also do other things with traced data but that would
then be subject to the normal license, not the special license they granted
to OpenStreetMap.
And how do believe they achieve that? Through copyright law? Through
contract law? Through some other mechanism?
Frankly, I don't care, and since I do not intend to get actively
involved in any fork, I'll not waste my time thinking about what *they*
will be allowed to do.
Anyway, the community in that fork can set their own bounds of what they
consider acceptable. They can even trace from Google and build on the
assumption that nobody will come after them. I am sure that Microsoft
has allowed data to be traced for OSM; I don't believe it is their
intent to allow tracing of data for other purposes but (a) I may be
wrong, (b) someone could always say that their intent doesn't matter
anyway. It isn't relevant to me, or to OSM.
