OSM is run by a foundation - https://www.openstreetmap.org/about

This makes it a lot more difficult to cock it up compared to a shareholder run company.

    Thanks. I'll continue my small contributions then.

    If anyone want to help I can recommend StreetComplete. It's a bit like pokemon go, but you'll help improve the map of the world instead. Only in android now I think.

    Oh I should do that, I'm often in new builds and redevelopments, I'd think that's where it's needed most?
