On: Should you contribute open data to OpenStreetMap?

there is nothing like 'paying indirectly'.

did it overall cost them any money ? no

did it overall cost them any physical effort ? no

did google force them to use the service ? no

Does it really sting so much to admit Google Maps is a free to use service?

It's not free. Maybe your privacy is worth nothing -that's up to you to decide- but mine is close to priceless. So to me using Google maps would be hugely expensive.

lol, my privacy is worth same as yours but you are too technologically challenged to hide it online.
