So then we should promptly raise awareness of the issue. I think EFF
is the right place to ask for support, if they hadn't covered it
already.
Also, OSMF might make a blog post describing how it can affect us,
that could be shared / linked to raise awareness. Information moves
rather quickly in the technological blogosphere.

The big ironic here is that a lot of the larger mapping companies have
workforces in India creating and processing map and geodata for them. Is
this dog going to bite it's own tail?

The India open data and OSM community are working to address this 
http://savethemap.in/. I'm sure they'll let us know if they need more 
help.-Mikel
