There's some sense if a company wants to blow it's own trumpet & not aim too much attention to a different project (that they rely on) with an uncontrollable user-base.
I suppose you're expecting @mapzen & @linuxfoundation to now be more open + stronger supporter of OSM.

You can only really be that if you mutually recognize that you are competitors, just as we have certain common interests with the goog, here and even with Tomtom. But it would be naive to think that they don't hate our guts.

Right, that's a great deflection, but what specific problems do you have? If it's a duck, where are the quacks?

WOF competes - for data consumers - for data sources - for contributors that is in general is a dismal failure, dosn't make it less an attempt at competing with OSM.

I don't agree that WOF competes with OSM for any of those things, but even if it does, I don't see how that means Mapzen and Linux Foundation hate OSM's guts... Open data is not a zero sum game.

Latest post on http://mapzen.com is "WOF ꞉fist-bump꞉ OSM" concluding "...you may be wondering what this has to do with OSM? Answer is: I don’t know, but..." So my q. still holds: Can you show any pos. statement on

did you actually read that post? it talks about how the projects are different and can work together. and are not competing. also, the latest mapzen blog post is about the Linux Foundation. to get to the blog post you're talking about you have to go back 4 pages.

Clever tactics to ignore OSM and/or to pretend how different the projects are. And you interpret that as positive communication for
