Thanks! These are all good suggestions.

I know about OSM and  I consider myself an active contributor in my
side of the hemisphere.
On a personal capacity, I come from the let's open geodata camp.  The
work environment is another issue, culture needs to be changed (you
know what I mean).

I very well know this can happen, but such a proposition to the
management isn't encouraging.

We need to make some compromises for the moment.
