I don't think it's disingenuous at all for Facebook to use their own

Databases principle and the Collective Databases Guideline
specifically to enable this type of usage, so that those interested
in OSM did not have to make an "all or nothing" choice?
Oh yes, there's nothing wrong with Facebook (and Yelp, and TripAdvisor
and and) having their own PoI database. But, they _could_ help us,
massively, by sharing it. They way they talk about OSM, you'd swear they
were already doing all they could to help us. π
But it's naive to think they ever will. Nothing wrong with that,
shareholder value and all that.
