Sorry, but what specifically was illegal? And as in laws, or OSM project governance?

You can't use copyrighted maps as a data source for OSM:

"Unless you have special permission, don't copy from online or paper maps."

Legal was probably the wrong word to use. It’s against the policy of OSM. It’s probably not actually illegal as far as the law goes.

I mean, we own the map rights. Google had to seek permission from us to map our area and publish it.
