They are using OSM data. If you look at Cambridge, UK, for instance, you'll see the entry for Kettles Yard and The Junction have both been credited to OSM.

You mean that issue nobody except OSM seems to care about ;-) If they'd be using OSM, would they have to CC-BY-SA all their data? [Is that why the aren't?] I don't think the business will fly but it's worth a try. It's one of these things that I'd never attempt because I'd think it is so obvious how I'm trying to siphon off community knowledge and not let the community use that knowledge - but quite a few businesses thrive on that and I can literally hear armies of PublicEarth fanboys cry out "how cool is that!". Bet they have some kind of iPhone app to go along with it.
