Whatever. I've certainly seen "footpaths classified as roads" in commercial online maps for instance.
This is a very one sided argument and assumes that commercial online maps are accurate. It also completely neglects the fact that you can use OSM data without a fee andf without someone telling you what you can and cannot do with it. I'd imagine they're running scared at the move away from the restrictive, closed-source model for electronic data.

We're not perfect. Let's close up the shop. Thanks to SteveC for all the effort, but it wasn't enough. Well, probably one of the very positive effects from OSM is the fact that when we start mapping something, the closed-source mappers follow suit. The fact that Google needs to add gimmicks like kajak routing across the pacific to beat us says enough. It's a win-win situation.
