Hi, > And because they derive from Google Maps, more importantly.
I think we should be a bit more careful with such statements. Nowhere on the geonames page do they say that data is, or should be, derived from Google Maps. I understand a certain desire to say "we are cooler than <other mapping project>" but we should make an attempt to do so without slander. As you know there are ways and tools to create OSM data that is derived from Google Earth or Google Maps, and if we start slinging mud then it's only a question of time before someone uses the existence of these tools to publicly say "OSM uses Google data".
