"OpenStreetMap creates and provides free geographic data such as street
maps to anyone who wants them. The project was started because most maps
you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on
their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive
or unexpected ways."
interesting stuff. anyone interested in open source and participatory
geographies will like this little gem of a wiki.
