That is very cool.
Unfortunately the location data is only for the Seattle Metro region, but it does have the Pocket PC code for their stumbler.

I sent one of the women on the project a ping to find out if they have more data.

Intel's Placelab has morphed into POLS - a Privacy Observant Location System

Free POLS code has quite a novel and admirable licensing scheme:

"... 4. Any collection, use, disclosure, and/or storage of personally identifiable location information about end-users will be undertaken in accordance with the
Location Aware Privacy Principles.

...

Addendum 2:  Location Aware Privacy Principles

1. End users will be informed, in a manner reasonably designed to provide actual notice and prior to any collection, use, retention, or disclosure of
personally identifiable location information, of the following:

   a.  What personal information will be collected;
   b.  How that personal information will be used;
c. To whom that personal information will be disclosed, how the recipient will be able to use the personal information, whether the recipient in turn will be able to transfer the information and whether the recipient
        is obligated to comply with these Principles.
d. How long (or how often) the personal information will be disclosed
        (e.g. at the time of initial connection only, or periodically during
       the use of the software)

2. To the extent reasonably practicable under the circumstances, end users will be given conspicuous notice of the opportunity to prohibit the proposed collection, use, retention, and/or disclosure of their personally identifiable location information in whole or in part, and a reasonably simple mechanism for taking advantage of such opportunity. Where practicable, a Work will provide
an easy method by which an end user can prohibit such collection, use,
retention, and/or disclosure, on a case by case basis, at their discretion.

3. Personally identifiable location information will be deleted regularly when it is no longer needed by the end-user or for the correct functioning of the
Work.

4. Licensees will implement administrative, technical, and/or other safeguards appropriate in light of the sensitivity of the data to protect personally
identifiable from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or damage.
