Ah... now we know who will own the data that users gather using google 
Map Maker:

"Google Signs Five Year Map Agreement With Tele Atlas"
http://www.teleatlas.com/WhyTeleAtlas/Pressroom/PressReleases/TA_CT018846

" ...The agreement also gives Tele Atlas access to edits for its maps 
from Google's community of users, whose suggested changes can help the 
company further increase the quality and richness of Tele Atlas maps... "

Map it today, give it to google, buy it back tomorrow from TeleAtlas. 
That sounds simple enough.
