  For which part? Main complaint in article is that major companies should employ people from OSM community. But inability to transfer money is not something blocking Microsoft or FB here.

    The part where people contribute anonymously and receive compensation

  No.

      OSM is making a volunteer-run open source GIS dataset, not an unregulated speculative securities offering.

        who is talking about securities? I'm talking about micropayments

  Surprisingly, yes. The OsmAnd app developers created a program called OSM BTC that pays OSM contributors for their contributions in Bitcoin on a monthly basis, with the funds coming from 50% of the proceeds of the app's OsmAnd Live subscriptions: - Program: https://osmbtc.org https://osmbtc.org - Announcement: https://osmand.net/blog/osm-live https://osmand.net/blog/osm-live
