Very cool. OSM has been the default map on my phone for years. I do worry that the name is a little close to Google's trademarked Street View (see list of Google TMs here: https://www.google.co.uk/permissions/trademark/trademark-lis... ). They might wish to avoid an unnecessary lawsuit by calling it something else.
"Street view", at least in English speaking countries is a generic name for a street view service. It's most probably not a valid trademark alone (but Google StreetView might be.)

In the US. But OSM doesn’t have to care about that – the worst that could happen would be them being banned from doing business in the US, or their profits being seized.
No permissions per se, we just didn't want to have users create YAA. We figured if you're going to be interested in OSV you'd already have an OSM account anyway.
