Isn't the joke on Google in this case as MS has successfully gameified "stealing" assets from Google to be used in Bing Maps?



It would wind up in OSM which means it will wind up helping much more than just Microsoft.

Isn't that what Ingress tried to do first? And the Google local guide program seems quite successful.
