Do you honestly think Google will risk taking legal action on the basis that it's a contract ? Suppose it turns out that person A asks person B for the name of a certain street. Person B obtains the Street View image with his phone and shows it to A. A is either not aware that it's a streetview image or perhaps does not even know what Street View is. So Google can only sue B for breach of contract. They can't compel OSM to delete the data. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
