16. Norman Dennison, director of Geographers' A-Z Map Company, confirms that Lye Close is a lie, which will now be removed. "The idea is to put something on the map to protect copyright," he says. "We try to put it in an area or a part of a road which would not be misleading to the ordinary person in the street. They have been put in out-of-the-way places."
20. A thought... “ If you don’t make [lower-resolution mapping data] publicly available, there will be people with their cars and GPS devices, driving around with their laptops .. They will be cataloguing every lane, and enjoying it, driving 4×4s behind your farm at the dead of night. There will, if necessary, be a grass-roots remapping.” Tim Berners-Lee
22. "OpenStreetMap is a project aimed squarely at creating and providing free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them." - openstreetmap.org
29. “ Open source is the peer production development of source code for software that is made available for public collaboration.” “ The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in.” - Wikipedia.org and opensource.org What is Open Source?
30. How is OSM open? Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike: This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work even for commercial reasons, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. -creativecommons.org
47. How is the US OSM map compiled? TIGER Data: T opologically I ntegrated G eographic E ncoding and R eferencing system TIGER/Line®Shapefiles are spatial extracts from the Census Bureau's MAF/TIGER database, containing features such as roads, railroads, rivers, as well as legal and statistical geographic areas. http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/
