Can you point out some specific road names that Yahoo have copied from OSM? Following those links to the zoomed out area I am only drawn to roads which are only in Yahoo.
If Yahoo are copying OSM then I believe (without having attribution) they are in breach of OSM terms regardless of what they give us. Nobody has the ability to offer OSM without attribution.
