I did just after your mail.  I was pointed out a paragraph in the
Terms of Use with a comment that it's Ok to check the odd street name
but systematic use would count to them as bulk extraction which the
ToU refers to.  There was also a comment that surely OSM is already
complete in those places with Street View coverage.

Yes, they transform the images for panoramas. But we don't trace over these
images, we don't reuse what they added. We just look the content of the
picture. If they take a picture of your house, the house and all its
attributes (colour, shape) is not a property of Google because we see these
attributes through a picture from Google. It has nothing, absolutely nothing
to do with derivative work.
