> Google Maps is also known to copy OSM without attribution (which is illegal, but not yet proven so clearly that I would be on a lawsuit).
Not only would attribution be required, but OSM does (for some use cases) have a share-alike clause. It could result in Google having to release their Google Maps data for OSM to use. So I'd be _really_ surprised if they did that, and I'd assume they'd be strict about making sure it's not imported.
If you have evidence, I'm sure the OSM community would be _very_ interested in hearing it.

So spending money to add roads to Google Maps is just stupid, because if you add them to OSM it's much faster and Google Maps will get them anyway.
