 12/ So with all this disagreement, how does our geocoding API handle disputes? Who is βrightβ? We use the main OpenStreetMap database which follows the principal of "most widely internationally recognised and best meets realities on the ground". Here's the OpenStreetMap Foundation's official policy doc: https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/File:DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf 3 comments
14/ Borders are a passionate topic, there aren't always simple answers. Want more disputed borders?

13/ The great thing about #OpenStreetMap: OSM is a database, not a map. If you disagree with the OSMF's view you are free to take a copy, and use it to make maps showing the world the way you think it should be - whatever your view.
Several local OSM communities do this.
