If you want to use an OSM service in one of your applications, then I<br>
would suggest firstly, and most importantly, that the application<br>
doesn't have a *.<a href="http://openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">openstreetmap.org</a> URL embedded anywhere in the code.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Come on. Does that mean that we cannot use "<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/api">www.openstreetmap.org/api</a>" to update the database?</div>
<div>That "<a href="http://tile.openstreetmap.org">tile.openstreetmap.org</a>" can disappear in 2 weeks time?</div><div><br></div><div>While I agree it shouldn't be hardcoded, I don't see right now how to make a difference between a "not supported/endorsed/can disappear anytime" <a href="http://openstreetmap.org">openstreetmap.org</a> service and "stable" ones... </div>
