Who Really Owns OpenStreetMap? A Personal Concern About Big Tech in OSM

The fact that the legal systems put an individual volunteer at a stark disadvantage against a larger legal entity does not equate “I don’t care about copyright attribution,” at least for me.

I map because my data is going to remain free and properly attributed, and because mapping is fun. Both are important to me. I think there are many others who feel this way.
