    Using it is not contributing to it. Or am I a contributor to the Linux kernel, and even to Windows itself?

      For Windows, considering how much data is sent back to Microsoft, using Windows contributes in it’s own way.

      Overture says they are providing data. What ever is contributed to OSM is up to the OSMF, not Overture.

        No, you misunderstand.

        Overture maps does not contribute in any way to OSM by using it. It just takes its data, and provides it at an alternate place. Just as I do not contribute to the development of Windows and Linux by using them.
