The principle that a map maker can make and publish a map made from several distinct horizontal layers without being obliged to share data from the non-OpenStreetMap layers has been established for several years and is much clearer with the switch to the ODbL. Here we formalise and state what we are happy with and give examples that we hope will help potential OpenStreetMap users with incompatible sources.
They have definitely taken my edits on osm and added to Google maps. Some farm buildings got demolished and housing built on the spot. I was the one who added the buildings in the first place then removed then as they got demolished, then added roads new outlines etc. Google has the road going through the farm building. On the licencing front I’ve got no idea
How I understand it, they wouldn’t have to release it if they do it correctly. ODbL allows some mixing with proprietary sources, as listed here: https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Community_Guidelines/Horizontal_Map_Layers_-_Guideline

should we add fake roads to osm to see if Boogle will add them (like paper map publishers used to do) ?
