Instead of using all this fancy hardware just to contribute to a proprietary database, i'd recommend uploading to BeaconDB[1] using NeoStumbler[2] on your phone.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm going to report a few APs during my next bike ride

I don't really understand from reading over this: how is this not just another proprietary database?

There's no data dump: I understand why, but it means everything is behind a pretty proprietary offering. And one which "only" appears to provide geolocation, which is fine if that's what you're interested in bit which is pretty orthogonal to the article's apparent goals where the author is interested in wireless security specifically
