Bot destroying powerlines | You need to report this, with examples, to the DWG data@openstreetmap.org |

Is There Any news about Satellite Imagery ? | Tee available global imagery mosaics (mapbox, ESRI, bing) use mostly imagery from Maxar for areas which don’t have better coverage. Maxar itself, as you may know, gave up providing a layer for OSM use, and it is up to the other providers to when they update. So I guess the answer is no. |

On Overture's Avoidance of the ODbL | The point that you are getting wrong is that the people from the Linux Foundation Overture Maps are being paid to be there and being paid to be friendly and make the right noises. And being professionals they are good in doing exactly that. They could be going to an event organised by google next week and attendees there will come back finding them friendly, supportive and so on just as you did from SOTM-US. The only thing you can actually judge the organisation on is their actions, and after two and a half years things haven’t changed a jota (and I wouldn’t expect them to). |

Why are we creating a design system for OSM? | ‘millions of organisations’? |

Blog-Beiträge in der Benutzerseite | Es ist leider so, dass die OSMF einerseits (bindend) garantiert, dass der Inholt der Profilseite vom Benutzer selber gestaltet werden kann, aber anderseits einfach irgendetwas drauf gepappt wird. |

What if the OBDL, but explicitly inclusive and antifascist? | There’s not only the issues SomeoneElse points out, there are further roughly 10 million contracts the OSMF has entered in that require the OSM distribution licence to comply with the open definition. There is no realistic way to change that and use a non-open licence. |

🚀 A menor cidade do Brasil no OpenStreetMap! 🗺 | While technically the licence of google buildings is compatible with OSM, importing ODbL licensed datasets in any larger fashion is an extremely bad idea, and essentially you are handing google significant power over the future of OpenStreetMap. I would further note that these imports don’t seem to have been discussed anywhere where the above could have been pointed out to your in advance. |
