    Wiki tells you what it is. It doesn't tell you why it matters.

I meant it more in the sense that the story of OSM is very similar to that of Wikipedia, and that the differences have been covered by other blogs & outlets.

Bear in mind I already read Eric Schmidt's book. Which is why I think they're evil. But based on the stuff you've done so far, I also know they're going to win unless something radical happens.
