When I present OSM to local authorities, I usually start with a joke... in
OpenStreetMap only one word is right: "open"

street ? whe're not doing only street mapping

map ? we're not only making maps


Changing OSM's name is way too late, but at least we should have a clear
statement about not only streets and not only map(s)...
