HN Explorer

Google Places annoys me

You can add a business freely, much like a wiki, but then Google owns the data and is very restrictive about how you can reuse it.

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/places/

I would like users to at least be given the choice of submitting their data under and open license which would allow reuse.

Anyone else? how could we get Google to listen?

Whilst I can't offer you advice with regards to Google,I am working on something related to this. My email's in my profile if you want to discuss further.
