I'm not sure how many active OSM contributors also play Pokémon Go, but the game is now officially using OSM for the basemap that players see in the game (previously was using Google Maps data for the base map). The in-game about screen has text in the bottom of the License section correctly attributing OSM.
As previously mentioned, the points of interest in the game come from a separate dataset. And it's also not clear whether OSM data is used to control where the characters spawn in the game. Notably, the game does not spawn any characters inside of school boundaries, but it's not clear whether those boundaries come from OSM or a separate dataset. Peter
