This just disturbed me:

"NAIROBI, Sept 14 (BERNAMA-NNN-KBC) -- Students from more than 90
universities in 12 sub-Saharan African countries have come together
for a two-week mapping exercise to put their university campuses and
surrounding areas on Google Map."

 Are we all now shouting "Why not OpenStreetMap?" at our screens?
Maybe the data can be used in OSM as well, I'm not sure what T&Cs are
imposed on user-supplied Google Map data...

discuss.
