No donor to OSM gets special terms or access to the data. You and I donate data :: we get OSM data under the OSM License RichardF donates code :: he gets OSM data under the OSM License Yahoo! donated imagery for years :: they get OSM data under the OSM License MapQuest actual big money :: they get OSM data under the OSM License USGS donated PD data :: they get OSM data under the OSM License etc. Bing is now donating aerial imagery :: they get OSM data under the OSM License People consume OSM data without making a donation :: they get OSM data under the OSM License It's all the same. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
