I think GP is saying they expect Lyft respond to complaints or things to change by fixing them in their internal OSM database, but maybe not propagate those changes back to canonical OSM for everyone else to enjoy.
- Ajedi32 3y agoCouldn't that become hard to maintain after a while though, once the OSM map changes and they start getting conflicts? I think that's often the biggest reason why corps contribute back to open source projects rather than maintaining internal forks for everything. I guess it's possible though they could just deal with that if they feel like having better maps is a significant competitive advantage, but if the goal is just to not be dependent on Google upstreaming the edits sounds like a better idea.
