@defuneste @simon Of course it hasn't!

@defuneste @simon not successful ≠ failed. I meant it in terms of adoption as it is, a universal public geodatabase, not just a background layer or anything. So I'd say that's a failure of most companies to see the value in OSM, not of OSM itself. Even here I would separate "not seeing value" and "not seeing value to provide some support". Seeing the list of company that use OSM, and pay mappers it does not seem they do not see value. Even as a "public geodatabase" it is quite good and way above some corporate mess (yes I works in private sector and I have see some nightmare). I should rephrase that: "data does not bring value, product does" (say a lot of folks) |
@zverik @simon Then I think you need to rephrase or specify that:
"If OSM were successful, Niantic would be one in a thousand similarly influential map users."
I interpret it at "OSM was not successful".
