Its critical to know where the lat/longs came from. For example, if they
came from Google Maps - then its a no go, because Google's licensing is
incompatible with OSM. Their geocodes are not public domain, etc. Same
thing applies to many / most other commercial geocoding services. If you
don't know how the lat/longs were derived, then that is probably a show
stopper as well.

We have open sourced our US POI data, it may not be ready for a direct
import into OSM, but we'd be willing to try to get it there.
Its a national directory of 59 million US businesses, that has been
updated as of this summer. And should be getting another refresh shortly.
What process is there to discuss and work to integrate this data?
The data is available under a creative commons attribution license at

I would be willing to waive and/or clarify certain aspects of the
licence if needed however.
