OpenStreetMap
I do not like "Copyright Easter Eggs" (http://www.opengeodata.org/?p=287) because they do not suit the idea of a community project like Openstreetmap in my opinion.
I would actually LIKE to see commercial providers of maps making use of Openstreetmap because that makes me proud. Ask yourself: when you go out and collect data for Openstreetmap, is it your intention to make money out of it? That is definitely not my intention. What I would like to see is that my work is actually of use for somebody (even if it is a commercial company). As I said before, THIS makes me proud.

Check the date of that post. ;)
April's fool's posts should not kept alive after that day in my opinion, they just cause confusion.

I hope that you are right. What confuses me very much is one of the comments: http://www.opengeodata.org/?p=287#comment-23650
Is there an official statement that it is actually an April's fool's post?
