Actually, one difference is that contributions by, for instance Amazon in my experience, have been lower-quality than the typical amateur on-the-ground mapping.

Actually, one difference is that contributions by, for instance Amazon in my experience, have been lower-quality than the typical amateur on-the-ground mapping. However, their contributors have been gracious and apparently willing to learn when you point out you've surveyed the area and they've put a service road -- it's usually service roads! -- through a wall next to the house numbers you added, for example. But, yes, it seems rather like saying that Intel or IBM contributors aren't in the GNU community, and that would have been absurd to argue about Cygnus. The worry might be organizational take-over by commercial interests (Linux Foundation?), but that's different.
