Nobody was. Please see the comment in the email referred to earlier in the thread about trying to upload GPX traces converted from KML. The email was about importing KML: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2008-September/011891.html Now I think there’s a valid point about most KML being from Google, but we’re not actually talking about KML in this thread, we’re talking about using GoogleWMS to derive from Google data. Please don’t detract from the point of my mail about having a check to prevent uploads of data known to be from Google (or another source that has incompatible terms, let’s not just discriminate against Google). The thread itself started with the subject of GoogleWMS, so I’m not the one turning it into a KML problem here. ☺ Simon -- A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works.—John Gall
