let's say there are 100,000 people involved in OSM. each copies one
name from google (so, not in her/his eyes a mass download). the OSM
database then contains 100,000 pieces of data which are sourced from
google. this then does constitute a mass access of data, and is
definitely outside their terms and conditions.
how do you know everyone else is not thinking the same thing as you,
and "checking the odd street names"?
and by the way, whoever it was using the phrase "memory aid" does not
change what is happening. it is copying data whatever linguistic
gymnastics you go through to try and justify it, and is thus not ok. as
someone else said, you want the data, go collect it.
