Hi all,

I have been an irregular OSM contributor to date, but feel very positive about the idea of OSM.

Also - not sure if this is the correct forum for this kind of discussion - folks, please point me to a better spot if there is one!

I have been reading and learning more about waze.com lately. Check out the site - very compelling I think.
Why isn't Waze using OSM as their base map? I read that there are commercial restrictions that keep them from doing so. I find this concerning, as waze has tools and processes that may enable more and better quality data than OSM will -- if their user base becomes large enough.

What is it about OSM licensing that would keep waze away?
