That's actually a good example: would it have been okay if maps.me was released as OpenStreetMap.me, we accepted it because it used only OpenStreetMap data, and then it slowly started replacing some data with other sources? I personally wouldn't like something as official-sounding as "OpenStreetMap.me" showing hotels in the wrong place where OSM has them right, including subjective ratings and reviews for them, having a prominent "get an Uber for this location" button, displaying ads when tapping on POIs (I'm getting horoscopes right now), etc. -- Nicolás _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
