Gert, as long as OSM is copyrighted, the OSMF will need to be in the business of suing OSMers. If you don't like the idea that the OSMF should come after a fellow mapper, why, then, welcome to the group of us who believe that OSM should be in the public domain. -russ ce-test, qualified testing bv

hi Gert, well I prefer to do practival things like mapping, too. But with growing database OSM comes more attractive to others. I don't see any bad things on monitoring this usage and drop a line, if they miss the license and OSM hint. Even if this might look small-minded, this just makes sure

Stop this nonsense. OSM is about mapping, not about enforcement of licenses. Take your GPS and go outside. Or do some useful mapping or japan of libya. Stop hustling the community about this kind of trivialities. We are NOT commercial, and there is no money involved !! Nothing to lose but our time

In the USA, while most streets are within a single Zip Code (postal code), it is common for streets at the boundaries of such codes to extend across the boundary line, and thus have more than one postal code. The street that I live on changes both city name and postal code at the boundary, but
