Let's keep license change discussions to legal-talk. I suspect that whoever is doing this either just found "free" data and chose not to read the fine print or just didn't care once they had the data. Which license we are currently using probably wasn't even considered so it doesn't matter to this

Hi Kay, I like the idea of a more subdued style for use as backdrop maps. I think this one still has too much contrast for that purpose. I propose something along the lines of http://maps.cloudmade.com/?lat=52.371826&lng=4.928055&zoom=12&styleId=26171&opened_tab=0 May I take this opportunity
