Whats your point? I see some streets in a TeleAtlas/NavTeq/OSM maps that overlap at some points and don't at some others. And why does the McDonalds things look the same? Maybe because we are living in the same reality and have surveyed the same place? From the maps you have shown I certainly can't see any evidence or even a hint that data has been copied there. > By the way: How can WE as a project find out when someone uses our data > and publishes them without contribution?

If it is large scale copying, somebody will notice sooner or later. If it is only something here or there it doesn't matter anyway.
