Before you get all excited, I do not think its what it sounds like. See the official announcement here: http://wikimapia.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=9878
I'm not certain what this 'wikimapia data' is or where it can be downloaded from. But it seems to be that this could be the placemark content- titles, descriptions, images and comments, but not the geographical coordinates. I have seen numerous cases where the description and images have just been copied from wikipedia and this license change is probably an attempt at conforming with the cc-by-sa license. If this data covers the geographical coordinates which have been derived from google maps service, then it doesnt make any sense. Can someone clarify? -- j.mp/ArunGanesh <http://j.mp/ArunGanesh>
