There are abot 33.000 objects in OSM which have "google" in the one

Just type "google" in the value-field:
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/source#values
Any thoughts about that?
Recently I asked a new contributor to the area I routinely check about
the fact that he had tagged source=google on a changeset for some paths
he had added. It turned out that he had legitimately traced Bing
imagery, but he had assumed it was Google - the only imagery he was
familiar with. This is now burned into the history, forever giving the
wrong impression.
My take on this is that _all_ of these dubious sources need
investigating with the original editors. Any real transgressions should
be redacted, but expect some genuine errors as I found. These need
marking or recording to show they are not worth investigating again in
the future.
