[ILUG-Cochin.org] Google Mapping Party - Someone please enlighten us

[Dinkar Mohana Pai]

Hello

I hope this is related to opensource / free software movement, as I  
see in newspapers, the free software movement is against google  
mapping party.

Would someone please enlighten us (N00b like me) on this issue ? I  
mean, it is all about the security issues ? Or the ownership issue ?

Why the free software foundation opposes it ? Sorry, but was not  
clearly explained in the newspapers, so thought I will ask here.
