Google's competitive advantage?

matkoniecz|4 years ago

Yes, exactly. If someone improves Google Maps then such contribution is under control and owned by Google.

If someone improves OSM then such contribution can be used by anyone - from hobby map maker, through artists, maker of open source navigation to evil corporations.
