Hello JunKwonGD,

Over at http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=2557536 there are a couple of references to “Google” and “Street View”.

Just to be absolutely clear - we can’t use products from Google as a source in OSM because the Google’s licence doesn’t allow it to be used here - it would cause real problems for the project if we were found to be using Google Maps as a source. If this is somewhere that you are familiar with, then “source=local_knowledge” would be perfectly OK. If not, then we’ll have to revert (and redact) the changes that you have added that might be based on inappropriate sources.

If you’ve got any questions you can email us at data@openstreetmap.org .

Best Regards Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM’s Data Working Group
