How would you describe the identity of OpenStreetMap?

Well, this might be a cultural thing, but the title of this thread is “How would you describe the identity of OSM” and descriptions can come across as definitive :wink:

In any case, your part about “emphasize freedom and equality so much that…” was part of what I tried to capture as “an ongoing experiment”. I actually don’t perceive a direct causality between the emphasis on freedom and the difficulties to coordinate, but that’s part of why debating about this is interesting.
