But of course we weren't talking about the photo per se, but about the question whether you could put the rating in the OSM database, and I believe that even if the Michelin rating is displayed in a way so artful that it attracts copyright, the *fact* that the hotel has a certain rating will not be copyrightable.
Just to be clear, this is exactly the case I envision, and something our crowd-source model should be good at - people seeing/knowing from local knowledge that a restaurant has a certain star rating and recording and maintaining it in OSM. I'm given to understand that, in France in particular, this information is commonly known and mentioned when describing a restaurant.
