That's the issue I have, I have no problem giving back to the community, but I don't want commercial companies just sucking up all the data and not giving hardly anything back in return if they extend the map, it's not fair to me or anyone else who chooses to donate our time for "the greater good". After all if the data isn't extended there is nothing to give back, which is a shame but you can't have everything I guess. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
