Bad idea because a link to the OSMF can still be established. But it reminds me of an obvious response - let's streisand them ! I have no relationship to the OSMF in any way and I volunteer to mirror the wiki with the infringing words - read-only since I have limited processing power on my host. Does anyone have an archive of the latest infringing version ? Let's produce a mirroring kit and spread it far and wide ! The verb 'to geocode' is generic English language word and I'll stand by that even if a US court decides otherwise. Silly fight ? Yes - I have absolutely no skill whatsoever in choosing my battles ! Good thing I'm not a US citizen.
