We can easily remove the map and the logo. We can use Facebook to help us grow the community and even attract donations so It's worthwhile to remain on Facebook. Corporation are on Facebook. Many with their logo's prominently displayed. I don't think Starbucks is giving up any rights to their Logo by having it on Facebook. (I tried to pick an international corporation that is known by a worldwide audience.) Since OSMF page only has 11 likes with little activity, it might make sense to remove the page and focus on OpenStreetMap Facebook page. Same legal rules apply, but we can remove any that we want to protect. Clifford -- @osm_seattle osm_seattle.snowandsnow.us OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
