    One of the Overture site FAQs asks about OpenStreetMap and its relationship to Overture: “Overture is a data-centric map project, not a community of individual map editors. Therefore, Overture is intended to be complementary to OSM. We combine OSM with other sources to produce new open map data sets. Overture data will be available for use by the OpenStreetMap community under compatible open data licenses. Overture members are encouraged to contribute to OSM directly.”

    now THAT’S the way to do it!

    Anything that can work towards breaking the strangehold and pushes towards open data I can get behind.
