this is actually interesting. for those who don't read french: teleatlas and google entered into a 5 year deal that gives google the right to use the teleatlas geographic information, but licenses *back* to teleatlas the geographic modifications that googles users produce. google has been rapidly rolling out the ability of people to 'mark-up' maps with information about points of interest and with personal photos taken at various sites. now all of this will be licensed back to teleatlas. wikimaps are clearly the future. this centralized stuff is not tenable.
